Abstract excerpt
Stereotyped dendritic arbors are shaped by dynamic and stochastic growth during neuronal development. It remains unclear how guidance receptors and ligands coordinate branch dynamic growth, retraction and stabilization to specify dendritic arbors. We previously showed that extracellular adhesion ligand SAX-7/LICAM dictates the elaborate and stereotyped shape of the Caenorhabditis elegans PVD sensory dendrite via...
