[P2.47]: Dissection of specific genetic signals from a background of tissue repair and inflammatory response noise during optic nerve regeneration in Danio rerio
Abstract:Neurite outgrowth upon extracellular cues is an essential event in early neuronal differentiation. Rac1 and Cdc42, members of Rho family GTPases, are involved in this process as regulators of actin cytoskeletal reorganization. We previously showed that NGF/TrkA signaling drives the cycling of a positive feedback loop comprised of PI3-kinase, Vav2/Vav3, Rac1/Cdc42, and actin cytoskeleton at neurite tips of PC12 cells using FRET imaging and RNAi techniques. In this study, we demonstrate that SHIP2 is a critical … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
