Semaphorins are extracellular signaling proteins that are essential for the development and
maintenance of many organs and tissues. The more than 20-member semaphorin protein …

The assembly of functional neural circuits requires the combined action of progressive and
regressive events. Regressive events encompass a variety of inhibitory developmental …

Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is implicated as an aetiological factor in B lymphomas and
nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The mechanisms of cell-free EBV infection of nasopharyngeal …

Proper brain wiring during development is pivotal for adult brain function. Neurons display a
high degree of polarization both morphologically and functionally, and this polarization …

The precise wiring of the nervous system is a combined outcome of progressive and
regressive events during development. Axon guidance and synapse formation intertwined …

The primary motor cortex (M1) is essential for voluntary fine motor control and is functionally
conserved across mammals. Using high-throughput transcriptomic and epigenomic profiling …

Rho GTPases play key regulatory roles in many aspects of embryonic development,
regulating processes such as differentiation, proliferation, morphogenesis, and migration …

Introduction Direction-selective responses to visual cues depend upon precise connectivity
between inhibitory starburst amacrine cells (SACs) and direction-selective ganglion cells …

Myelin is formed by specialized myelinating glia: oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells in the
central and peripheral nervous systems, respectively. While there are distinct developmental …
