Depending on Its Nano-Spacing, ALCAM Promotes Cell Attachment and Axon Growth
ALCAM is a member of the cell adhesion molecule (CAM) family which plays an important role during nervous system formation. We here show that the two neuron populations of developing dorsal root ganglia (DRG) display ALCAM transiently on centrally and peripherally projecting axons during the two phases of axon outgrowth. To analyze the impact of ALCAM on cell adhesion and axon growth, DRG singl...
متن کاملTissue transglutaminase promotes or suppresses tumors depending on cell context.
Despite major advances in diagnosis, surgical and postsurgical techniques and adjuvant therapies, 7.5 million individuals worldwide still die of cancer every year. Most cancer deaths result because tumor cells metastasize to distant organs and/or acquire resistance to conventional therapies. Therefore, elucidation of tumor-encoded genes whose expression contribute to the development of drug res...
متن کاملKindlin-1 enhances axon growth on inhibitory chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans and promotes sensory axon regeneration.
Growing and regenerating axons need to interact with the molecules in the extracellular matrix as they traverse through their environment. An important group of receptors that serve this function is the integrin superfamily of cell surface receptors, which are evolutionarily conserved αβ heterodimeric transmembrane proteins. The function of integrins is controlled by regulating the affinity for...
متن کاملNano-Ferric Oxide Promotes Watermelon Growth
With the rapid growing of nanotechnology, the effects of nanomaterials released into the environment on plants have drawn more and more attention. Iron is an element essential for plant growth and development. Iron is involved in chlorophyll formation; iron deficiency will cause a plant disorder known as chlorosis. However, whether iron in nano-ferric oxide can be absorbed by plants were rarely...
متن کاملB-RAF kinase drives developmental axon growth and promotes axon regeneration in the injured mature CNS
Activation of intrinsic growth programs that promote developmental axon growth may also facilitate axon regeneration in injured adult neurons. Here, we demonstrate that conditional activation of B-RAF kinase alone in mouse embryonic neurons is sufficient to drive the growth of long-range peripheral sensory axon projections in vivo in the absence of upstream neurotrophin signaling. We further sh...
