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 …

The family of∼ 60 clustered protocadherins (Pcdhs) are cell adhesion molecules encoded
by a genomic locus that regulates expression of distinct combinations of isoforms in …

CTCF plays an important role in 3D genome organization by adjusting the strength of
chromatin insulation at TAD boundaries, where clustered CBS (CTCF-binding site) elements …

Clustered protocadherin (Pcdh), a cell adhesion protein, is involved in the self-recognition
and non-self-discrimination of neurons by conferring diversity on the cell surface. Although …

Cortical inhibitory interneurons (cINs) are born in the ventral forebrain and migrate into the
cortex where they make connections with locally produced excitatory glutamatergic neurons …

The Pcdhg gene cluster encodes 22 γ‐Protocadherin (γ‐Pcdh) cell adhesion molecules that
critically regulate multiple aspects of neural development, including neuronal survival …

Self-recognition is a fundamental cellular process across evolution and forms the basis of
neuronal self-avoidance1–4. Clustered protocadherins (Pcdh), comprising a large family of …

Proteins that transmit molecules and signals across the plasma membrane are crucial in cell
biology because they enable cells to sense and respond to their surroundings. A major …

In the process of synaptic formation, neurons must not only adhere to specific principles
when selecting synaptic partners but also possess mechanisms to avoid undesirable …

Clustered protocadherins (cPCDH) are widely expressed in the nervous system with known
functions, but their roles in cancer metastasis are largely unexplored. Our previous research …
