The structure and functions of the tip of migrating neurons remain elusive. A research group has found that the PTPσ-expressing growth cone senses the extracellular matrix and drives neuronal ...
Collective time-lapse images of a migrating neuron (left) and an elongating axon (right) from super-resolution microscopy. Growth cones at the tips of the neurons are extended while the cell body ...
Neurite growth and axon guidance represent fundamental processes by which neurons establish precise connections during development and regeneration. Neurites—precursors to axons and dendrites—extend ...
