We sequenced 118,529 nuclei across sixteen neuronal and non-neuronal cell types isolated from control, sensory deprived, and sensory stimulated mice, identifying 1,268 sensory-induced genes within the developing...

Using maximum intensity projections of axon terminals, a 5 pixel-thick segmented line was drawn along the centre of axon to capture 7-15 boutons per axon...

Co-cultured neurons were required for astrocyte ramifications in a neuronal activity-dependent manner, and synaptically-released glutamate and activation of astrocytic mGluR5 metabotropic glutamate receptor were likely involved in astrocyte...

By integrating previously published larval single-cell data with our apical transcriptomes, we discovered that the apical domain...

... responses that ensure animals develop properly. In water, the nervous system induces an adaptive response that reinforces vulval development through an unknown backup signal for vulval induction. This response involves the heterotrimeric G-protein EGL-30//G αq acting in motor neurons. It also requires body...

Lai Drosophila Elav is the founding member of the conserved family of Hu RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), which play crucial and diverse roles in post-transcriptional regulation. Elav has long served as the canonical neuronal marker. Surprisingly...

In the spinal cord, neural progenitor cells are directed to differentiate into adult neurons through the action of mediators released from nearby organizing centers, such as the floor plate and paraxial mesoderm. These signals combine...

VEGF 165 binds the transmembrane protein neuropilin 1 (NRP1) and promotes the migration, survival and axon guidance of subsets of neurons, whereas VEGF 121 cannot activate NRP1-dependent neuronal responses. By contrast, the role of VEGF 189 in NRP1-mediated signalling pathways has not yet...
