Dombrovski M, Zang Y, Frighetto G, Vaccari A, Jang H, Mirshahidi P, et al.
bioRxiv . 2025 Feb; PMID: 39974884
Converting sensory information into motor commands is fundamental to most of our actions. In , visuomotor transformations are mediated by Visual Projection Neurons (VPNs). These neurons encode object location and...

Chaudhari K, Zhang K, Yam P, Zang Y, Kramer D, Gagnon S, et al.
Sci Signal . 2024 Oct; 17(856):eadk2345. PMID: 39353037
The axon guidance cue netrin-1 signals through its receptor DCC (deleted in colorectal cancer) to attract commissural axons to the midline. Variants in DCC are frequently associated with congenital mirror...

Zang Y, Bashaw G
Development . 2023 Aug; 150(15). PMID: 37526651
The Netrin receptor Dcc and its Drosophila homolog Frazzled play crucial roles in diverse developmental process, including axon guidance. In Drosophila, Fra regulates midline axon guidance through a Netrin-dependent and...

Cell Rep . 2022 Dec; 41(10):111785. PMID: 36476876
Frazzled (Fra) and deleted in colorectal cancer (Dcc) are homologous receptors that promote axon attraction in response to netrin. In Drosophila, Fra also acts independently of netrin by releasing an...

Curr Top Dev Biol . 2021 Mar; 142:147-196. PMID: 33706917
As the nervous system develops, newly differentiated neurons need to extend their axons toward their synaptic targets to form functional neural circuits. During this highly dynamic process of axon pathfinding,...
