Abstract excerpt
Laminin is known to provide a highly permissive substratum and in some cases directional information for axon outgrowth in vitro. However, there is still little known about laminin function in guiding axons in vivo. We investigated the axon guidance role of laminin-alpha1 in the developing zebrafish nervous system. Analysis of zebrafish bashful (bal)/laminin-a1 mutants revealed multiple functions for...
