Hippocampal neurons exhibit periodically recurring growth cone-like structures, referred to as "waves," that emerge at the base of neurites and travel distally to the tip. As a wave nears the tip, the neurite undergoes retraction, and when it reaches the tip, the neurite undergoes a burst of growth.
Although a number of gene products involved in cytokinesis have been identified, still little is known about how these proteins are localized to the proper site and assembled into a ring structure. How is the plane of cell division is positioned in the cell? Schizosaccharomyces pombe are simple rod-
Ceramide is now regarded as a lipid messenger molecule involved in a variety of cellular processes, including growth, differentiation, and cell death. Previously, we demonstrated that ceramide is required for cell survival and dendritic growth of cerebellar Purkinje neurons (Furuya et al.: J Neuroch
Glutamate regulation of a variety of aspects of dendrite development may be involved in neuronal plasticity and neuropathology. In this study, we examine the calcium-dependent pathways and alterations in the microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton that may mediate glutamate-induced changes in the pattern of d
