Type-specific dendrite morphology is a hallmark of the neuron and has important functional
implications in determining what signals a neuron receives and how these signals are …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that are generated in all eukaryotes and
viruses. Their role as master regulators of gene expression in various biological processes …

Microtubule nucleation is essential for proper establishment and maintenance of axons and
dendrites. Centrosomes, the primary site of nucleation in most cells, lose their function as …

The nervous system is populated by numerous types of neurons, each bearing a dendritic
arbor with a characteristic morphology. These type-specific features influence many aspects …

Nociceptive neurons innervate the skin with complex dendritic arbors that respond to pain-
evoking stimuli such as harsh mechanical force or extreme temperatures. Here we describe …

Dendrites of the same neuron usually avoid each other. Some neurons also repel similar
neurons through dendrite-dendrite interaction to tile the receptive field. Nonoverlapping …

The spatial pattern of branches within axonal or dendritic arbors and the relative
arrangement of neighboring arbors with respect to one another impact a neuron's potential …

Both cell-intrinsic and extrinsic pathways govern axon regeneration, but only a limited
number of factors have been identified and it is not clear to what extent axon regeneration is …

During postembryonic life, hormones, including ecdysteroids, juvenile hormones, insulin-like
peptides, and activin/TGFβ ligands act to transform the larval nervous system into an adult …

The complex, branched morphology of dendrites is a cardinal feature of neurons and has
been used as a criterion for cell type identification since the beginning of neurobiology …
