Abstract excerpt
This work investigates the role of cell adhesion molecules in development of synaptic connections and functions through a genetic approach. Fasciclin I (Fas I) is an insect glycoprotein capable of mediating homophilic cell adhesion. It has been shown that Fas I is expressed in motor nerve axons a...
