...Bidushi Chandra; Matthew G. Voas; Erin L. Davies; Rachel H. Roberts-Galbraith ABSTRACT Glia play multifaceted roles in nervous systems in response to injury. Depending on the species, extent of injury and glial cell type in question, glia can help or hinder the regeneration of neurons. Studying...

...Jessica C. Nelson; Michael Granato ABSTRACT Nervous system assembly relies on a diversity of cellular processes ranging from dramatic tissue reorganization to local, subcellular changes all driven by precise molecular programs. Combined, these processes culminate in an animal's ability to plan...

We provide several proofs of concept for using NeuroPAL to identify the sites of expression of gfp- tagged reporter genes and for cellular fate analysis by analyzing the effect of removal of several developmental patterning genes...

..., whereas gain of β-Spectrin leads to an increase in α-Spectrin protein expression. Because the loss of α -spectrin does not result in an embryonic nervous system phenotype, β-Spectrin appears to act at least partially independent of α-Spectrin to control axonal patterning. We were able to rescue...
