Dendrite Plasticity: Branching Out for Greener Pastures
Environmental stress triggers substantial alterations in animal physiology and, in some cases, brain structure. Using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a new study reports that unfavorable conditions lead to dramatic dendrite remodeling in neurons that mediate an adaptive dispersal behavior.
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of dendrite morphogenesis
Dendrites are key integrators of synaptic information in neurons and play vital roles in neuronal plasticity. Hence, it is necessary that dendrite arborization is precisely controlled and coordinated with synaptic activity to ensure appropriate functional neural network integrity. In the past several years, it has become increasingly clear that several cell intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms co...
متن کاملIncreased dendrite branching in AbetaPP/PS1 mice and elongation of dendrite arbors by fasudil administration.
Amyloid-beta (Abeta) overproduction and dendrite arbor atrophy are hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. The RhoA GTPase (Rho) signals through Rho kinase (ROCK) to control cytoskeletal dynamics and regulate neuron structure. Hyperactive Rho signaling destabilizes neurons leading to dendritic regression that can be rescued by genetic or pharmacological reduction of ROCK signaling. To understand what...
متن کاملShaping Membrane Architecture
Effective interactions between cells and their environment often rely on the creation, maintenance, and regulation of specialized membrane domains. Such domains are typically comprised of selected cytoskeletal, signaling, and adhesion molecules. The task confronting the cell is to deploy these elements into functional units in the right places at the right times. Skeletal muscle cells offer som...
متن کاملShaping plant architecture
Plants exhibit phenotypical plasticity. Their general body plan is genetically determined, but plant architecture and branching patterns are variable and can be adjusted to the prevailing environmental conditions. The modular design of the plant facilitates such morphological adaptations. The prerequisite for the formation of a branch is the initiation of an axillary meristem. Here, we review t...
