Netrin Guides Spinal Commissural Axons to the Midline at Long Range Through the Receptors Dcc and Neogenin
<p>During neurodevelopment, commissural axons are guided to the ventral midline in a remarkably precise and stereotyped way. Netrin, a secreted laminin-related protein, provides the major attractive cue for midline guidance. It is thought to act at long-range, functioning either in solution …

Frazzled And Abelson Interact To Regulate The Actin Cytoskeleton In Drosophila
… physically interacts with Frazzled to help guide commissural axons across the midline. Furthermore, the loss of commissural axons is only seen when the actin dynamics are perturbed. Abl is also known to regulate actin-dependent processes underlying formation of filopodia, microspikes and membrane …

A lentiviral system for RNAi transgenesis and the Ena/VASP triple-knockout defines neuronal and non-neuronal functions in mouse development
… initiation of axon extension, guidance of non-commissural axons, and neuronal migration. Outside the nervous system, we have observed a novel role for Ena/VASP in blood vessel physiology.
