Contact repulsion of growing axons is an essential mechanism for spinal nerve patterning. In birds and mammals the embryonic somites generate a linear series of impenetrable barriers, forcing axon growth cones to traverse one...
Tissue mechanics is important for development; however, the spatio-temporal dynamics of in vivo tissue stiffness is still poorly understood. We here developed tiv-AFM, combining time-lapse in vivo atomic force microscopy with...
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) describes the range of deficits that arise from prenatal alcohol exposure. When a pregnant mother drinks alcohol, these deficits can present in offspring as physiological abnormalities...
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is characterized by physical and neurological deficits as a result of prenatal alcohol exposure. Exposure to alcohol during fetal development can result in sensory and motor processing...
Local translation is rapidly regulated by extrinsic signals during neural wiring, but its control mechanisms remain elusive. Here we show that the extracellular cue Sema3A induces an initial burst in local translation that...
Axonal protein synthesis and degradation are rapidly regulated by extrinsic signals during neural wiring, but the full landscape of proteomic changes remains unknown due to limitations in axon sampling and sensitivity. By...
