The central component in the road trip of axon guidance is the growth cone, a dynamic
structure that is located at the tip of the growing axon. During its journey, the growth cone …

Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) caused by trauma, chronic disease and other factors may lead
to partial or complete loss of sensory, motor and autonomic functions, as well as neuropathic …

Neurite outgrowth underlies the wiring of the nervous system during development and
regeneration. Despite a significant body of research, the underlying cytoskeletal mechanics …

Actin filaments and associated proteins undergo wave-like movement in various cell types.
Recent studies with cutting-edge analyses, including live-cell imaging, biophysical …

The brain is our most complex organ. During development, neurons extend axons, which
may grow over long distances along well-defined pathways to connect to distant targets. Our …

Neuronal polarization establishes distinct molecular structures to generate a single axon
and multiple dendrites. Studies over the past years indicate that this efficient separation is …

This is a book on mathematical neuroscience, in which the unifying theme is wavelike
phenomena at multiple spatial and temporal scales. There are already several excellent …

Neuronal growth cones are exquisite sensory-motor machines capable of transducing
features contacted in their local extracellular environment into guided process extension …

Nonsyndromic orofacial clefts have a multifactorial etiology, involving both genetic and
environmental factors. Although linkage and candidate gene studies have attempted to …

Neurons are among the most morphologically complex cells. A distinction between two
compartments, axon and dendrite, generates cellular domains that differ in membrane …
