This project explores the molecular mechanisms behind the growth of neurons, particularly focusing on a specific type of RNA that regulates axon growth. It aims to uncover how these growth regulators function during neuronal development.
Neurons are the longest cells, extending axons over distances that can reach four orders of magnitude larger than their cell body diameters.
How can they achieve such long distance growth?
After initial engagement with target cells, neurons undergo stretch-induced elongation as the nervous system matures with the growth of the organism.
The molecular mechanisms enabling such prodigious growth are unknown.
Based on strong preliminary evidence, we tested the hypothesis that both the initial elonga…
