Abstract excerpt
Axon-axon interactions are essential for axon guidance during nervous system wiring. However, it is unknown whether and how the growth cones communicate with each other while sensing and responding to guidance cues. We found that the Parkinson's disease gene, leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), has an unexpected role in growth cone-growth cone communication. The LRRK2 protein acts as a scaffold and induces...
