Confluence and convergence of Dscam and Pcdh cell-recognition codes

H Dong, J Li, Q Wu, Y Jin - Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 2023 - cell.com
The ability of neurites of the same neuron to avoid each other (self-avoidance) is a
conserved feature in both invertebrates and vertebrates. The key to self-avoidance is the …
