Proper patterning of the nervous system requires that developing axons find appropriate
postsynaptic partners; this entails microns to meters of extension through an extracellular …

Axon outgrowth and guidance to the proper target requires the coordination of filamentous
(F)-actin and microtubules (MTs), the dynamic cytoskeletal polymers that promote shape …

Recognition molecules of the immunoglobulin superfamily have important roles in neuronal
interactions during ontogeny, including migration, survival, axon guidance and synaptic …

This review focuses on structure and functions of spectrin as a major component of the
membrane skeleton. Recent advances on spectrin function as an interface for signal …

▪ Abstract Immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) proteins are implicated in diverse steps of
brain development, including neuronal migration, axon pathfinding, target recognition and …

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules are key players in initiating immune
responses towards invading pathogens. Both MHC class I and class II genes are present in …

Neuronal polarity is, at least in part, mediated by the differential sorting of membrane
proteins to distinct domains, such as axons and somata/dendrites. We investigated the …

Astrocytes‐derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are key players in glia‐neuron
communication. However, whether EVs interact with neurons at preferential sites and how …

Abstract ERM (ezrin/radixin/moesin) proteins recognize the cytoplasmic domains of
adhesion molecules in the formation of the membrane‐associated cytoskeleton. Here we …

The first steps of invasion and metastasis include the dissociation of adherens junctions and
the induction of migratory phenotype, through a program that resembles epithelial …
