Our first original paper has been accepted in iScience! We provide new insights into the molecular machinery of axon guidance in two distinct developmental systems: the neural tube and the visual system.
Thanks to Tiphaine Dolique, Sarah Baudet and Fred Charron! www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

A central role for Numb/Nbl in multiple Shh-mediated axon repulsion processes

Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is an axon guidance molecule that can act as either a chemorepellent or a chemoattractant, depending on the neuron type and their developmental stage. In the developing spinal cor...

A summary thread of our Cell Reports paper published last week. In brief, we found a novel activity for netrin1 in the developing spinal cord: it acts as a boundary, to limit Bmp signaling to the dorsal most spinal cord. 1/9 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Netrin1 patterns the dorsal spinal cord through modulation of Bmp signaling

We have identified an unexpected role for netrin1, a canonical axonal guidance cue, as a suppressor of bone morphogenetic protein (Bmp) signaling in t…
