It is now more than 50 years since N-acetyl-neuraminic acid was first discovered and
subsequently characterized by several groups (reviewed in Roseman, 1970; Gottschalk …

Over the past decade, new insights have been obtained into the cellular strategies and
molecular mechanisms that guide axons to their targets in the developing vertebrate …

Chick embryo retinas were labelled in ovo by single injections of [3H] thymidine at selected
times between days 2 and 12 of incubation. Embryos were later removed, at different stages …

We have used the anterograde axon tracer 1, 1′-dioctodecyl-3, 3, 3′, 3′-
tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (Dil) to characterize the development of …

In a large scale screen for genetic defects in zebrafish embryogenesis we identified 49
mutations affecting development of the retina. Based on analysis of living embryos as well …

Most sensory inputs to the central nervous system (CNS) are topo graphically arranged. For
instance, the various retinofugal projections are topographically arranged in the …

Aberrant expression of glycosphingolipids is a hallmark of cancer cells and is associated
with their malignant properties. Disialylated gangliosides GD2 and GD3 are considered as …

The retina of mammals contains various amounts of cone photoreceptors that are relatively
evenly distributed and display a radially or horizontally oriented area of peak density. In …

ABSTRACT A systematic search for mutations affecting the retinotectal projection in
zebrafish larvae was performed, as part of the large-scale Tübingen screen for homozygous …
