Eph-Ephrin Signaling and the Role of EFN-4 in Caenorhabditis Elegans Nervous Systems Development
<p>Eph receptor tyrosine kinases and their ephrin ligands are required for multiple aspects of nervous system development including axon outgrowth, synaptic plasticity, and the formation of topographic maps in the visual system. The <em>Caenorhabditis elegans </em>ephrin-A, <em>efn-4</em>, has a …

EPH-B and Ephrin-B Signaling in Migration and Proliferation of Stem Cells
In this dissertation, I investigate the role of Eph-ephrin signaling in the Dentate Gyrus (DG). The DG is a distinctive neuronal structure located in the hippocampus and is one of two areas in the mature brain where stem and progenitor cells reside to continuously produce new neurons throughout …

Novel Non-Repulsive Outcomes From Ephrin-B Reverse Signaling
… of the physiological roles for reverse signaling through B-subclass ephrins during embryonic development. The stereotypical outcome of Eph-ephrin signaling has long been established as one of cell-cell repulsion, elicited through a localized breakdown of the actin cytoskeleton. In …

Investigating the role of ephrins and their receptors in mouse folliculogenesis and ovulation
… hormone (LH) that triggers ovulation. Ephrins (Efn genes) and Eph receptors (Eph genes) are membrane-associated signaling molecules that mediate communication at sites of cell-cell contact, and have been extensively studied in the context of embryonic development. The published …
