Regulation of chemotropic guidance of nerve growth cones by microRNA
3 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The small non-coding microRNAs play an important role in development by regulating protein translation, but their involvement in axon guidance is unknown. Here, we investigated the role of microRNA-134 (miR-134) in chemotropic guidance of nerve growth cones. RESULTS: We found that miR-134 is highly expressed in the neural tube of Xenopus embryos. Fluorescent in situ hybridization also showed that...
