Rapid progress in the identification and characterization of axon guidance molecules and their receptors has left the field poised to explore the intracellular mechanisms by which signals are transduced into growth cone responses. The TUC (TOAD/ Ulip/CRMP) family of proteins has emerged as a strong

The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) has been shown to be a ligand in the formation of cell-cell bonds. This molecule is present on essentially the entire surface of differentiated nerve cells, including the cell body, neurite shaft, and growth cone. In mediating membrane-membrane adhesion, NCAM
## Abstract Although neurite outgrowth has been linked to axon guidance regulators, the effects of guidance molecules on cellular growth are not well understood. Use of the __Drosophila__ wing imaginal disc, an epithelial tissue and a wellβcharacterized system for analysis of cellular growth regula
## Abstract The five members of the inhibitor of growth (ING) gene family have garnered significant interest due to their putative roles as tumor suppressors. However, the precise role(s) of these ING proteins in regulating cell growth and tumorigenesis remains uncertain. Biochemical and molecular
