Abstract excerpt
Netrin signaling is important to guide migrating neurons and axons in many systems. Experiments with vertebrate CNS explants suggested netrin is bifunctional, attracting some axons and repelling others. Netrin1-expressing cells attracted spinal commissural axons and repelled trochlear cranial nerve axons in these experiments. Subsequent genetic studies demonstrated that multiple axon types, including those of the...
