... on dendritic trees under toxic conditions, during which the silencing of CD44 expression prevents dendritic shortening induced by glutamate exposure. Overall, our results indicate a novel role for CD44 as an essential regulator of dendritic arbor complexity in both health and disease. * Author...

... that CTTNBP2 proteins form a dimer or oligomer and brings multiple microtubule filaments together to form bundles. In cultured hippocampal neurons, knockdown of CTTNBP2 or expression of the Mid or NCC domain alone reduced the acetylation levels of microtubules and impaired dendritic arborization. This study...

Rac1 is a member of the Rho...

... that stathmin, a microtubule destabilizing factor, is downregulated at both the expression and activity levels during cerebellar development, and this down-regulation contributes to dendritic arborization. Stathmin overexpression drastically limited the dendritic growth of cultured Purkinje cells. The stathmin...
