Abstract excerpt
Cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) exploit Bergmann glia (BG) fibres for radial migration, and cell-cell contacts have a pivotal role in this process. Nevertheless, little is known about the mechanisms that control CGN-BG interaction. Here we demonstrate that the actin-binding protein profilin1 is essential for CGN-glial cell adhesion and radial migration. Profilin1 ablation from mouse brains leads to a cerebellar...
