bioRxiv
. 2025 Mar;
PMID: 40060423
Neurons exhibit extraordinary precision in selecting synaptic partners. Whereas cell-surface proteins (CSPs) mediating attractive interactions between developing axons and dendrites have been shown to instruct synaptic partner matching , it...

bioRxiv
. 2025 Feb;
PMID: 39990354
The formation of an appropriately shaped dendritic arbor is critical for a neuron to receive information. Dendritic morphogenesis is a dynamic process involving growth, branching, and retraction. How the growth...

bioRxiv
. 2024 Sep;
PMID: 39314492
The localization and clustering of neurotransmitter receptors at appropriate postsynaptic sites is a key step in the control of synaptic transmission. Here, we identify a novel paradigm for the synaptic...

bioRxiv
. 2024 Jul;
PMID: 39026773
Multicellularity was accompanied by the emergence of new classes of cell surface and secreted proteins. The nematode is a favorable model to study cell surface interactomes, given its well-defined and...

PMID: 38363837
Netrins dictate attractive and repulsive responses during axon growth and cell migration, where the presence of the receptor Uncoordinated-5 (UNC-5) on target cells results in repulsion. Here, we showed that...
