An emerging link between cytoskeletal dynamics and cell adhesion molecules in growth cone guidance

Year: 1998

Type: review

Abstract: It has become increasingly evident that growth cone guidance depends on the concerted actions of cytoskeletal proteins, molecular motors and cell adhesion molecules. Recent studies suggest that modulation of coupling between extracellular substrates and intracellular cytoskeletal networks via cell surface receptors is an important mechanism for regulating directed neuronal growth.
