Cadherins are Ca2+-dependent cell-cell adhesion molecules that play critical roles in
animal morphogenesis. Various cadherin-related molecules have also been identified …

Cadherins are Ca2+-dependent cell adhesion molecules found in several kinds of cell-cell
contact, including adherens junctions and desmosomes. In the presence of Ca2+, cells …

Neural development and the organization of complex neuronal circuits involve a number of
processes that require cell–cell interaction. During these processes, axons choose specific …

Müller glia function as retinal stem cells in adult zebrafish. In response to loss of retinal
neurons, Müller glia partially dedifferentiate, re-express neuroepithelial markers and re …

The cerebral cortex is a complex laminated structure generated by the sequential migration
of developing neurons from the ventricular zone. One of the molecules that may play a role …

The vertebrate neural tube develops by two distinct mechanisms. Anteriorly, in the brain and
future trunk (cervicothoracic) region,'primary neurulation'occurs, where an epithelial sheet …

Over the last decade, the use of the zebrafish as a genetic model has moved beyond the
proof-of-concept for the analysis of vertebrate embryonic development to demonstrated …

The complex, yet highly ordered and predictable, structure of the neural retina is one of the
most conserved features of the vertebrate central nervous system. In all vertebrate classes …

The cadherins comprise a family of single-pass transmembrane proteins critical for cell–cell
adhesion in vertebrates and invertebrates. The recently determined structure of the whole …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, highly conserved molecules that have been shown to
regulate the expression of genes by binding to specific target mRNAs. Dicer, an RNase III …
