The Genetics of Axon Guidance and Axon Regeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans
The correct wiring of neuronal circuits depends on outgrowth and guidance of neuronal
processes during development. In the past two decades, great progress has been made in …

An extracellular adhesion molecule complex patterns dendritic branching and morphogenesis
Robust dendrite morphogenesis is a critical step in the development of reproducible neural
circuits. However, little is known about the extracellular cues that pattern complex dendrite …

[HTML][HTML] Skin-derived cues control arborization of sensory dendrites in Caenorhabditis elegans
Sensory dendrites depend on cues from their environment to pattern their growth and direct
them toward their correct target tissues. Yet, little is known about dendrite-substrate …

A multi-protein receptor-ligand complex underlies combinatorial dendrite guidance choices in C. elegans
Ligand receptor interactions instruct axon guidance during development. How dendrites are
guided to specific targets is less understood. The C. elegans PVD sensory neuron …

Morphogenesis of neurons and glia within an epithelium
To sense the outside world, some neurons protrude across epithelia, the cellular barriers
that line every surface of our bodies. To study the morphogenesis of such neurons, we …

[HTML][HTML] Synapse location during growth depends on glia location
Synaptic contacts are largely established during embryogenesis and are then maintained
during growth. To identify molecules involved in this process, we conducted a forward …
