Examination of internal 'wiring' of yeast, worm, and fly reveals conserved circuits

...found in both worm and fly that is involved in the guidance of nerve cell axons to their synaptic targets, or junctions, with other nerve cells. The process, considered an initial step in the development of the central nervous system, would not be needed by lower organisms, such as yeast, which don't have ner...

Cerebral navigation: How do nerve fibers know what direction to grow in?

...to give insight into how the various steps of axon guidance are controlled." The first paper found that when ephrin binds to Eph receptors on the axon, it activates a protein called Vav2 in the cell's growth cone. Activation of Vav2 induces the cell to engulf the ephrin-Eph complex, breaking the bond between...

Researchers discover stem cell 'guide' that may be key for targeting neural stem cell treatments

..."Our findings identify one of the first endogenous guidance molecules for migrating neurons in the adult brain," Zhou said. "We are learning that molecules, like PK2, which direct the movement of neurons are crucial for neuronal replacement, and they demonstrate how adult stem cells might be manipulated for t...
