Axon Guidance and Neuronal Signaling
Description: This cluster of papers explores the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways involved in axon guidance, neuronal polarity, and vascular patterning. It covers a wide range of topics including the roles of Eph receptors, Semaphorins, Netrins, and their interactions in regulating growth cone dynamics and neural development. The papers also delve into the involvement of receptor tyrosine kinases in these processes.
