An optimal wire and function trade-off emerges from noisy growth and stochastic retraction during Drosophila class I ventral posterior dendritic arborisation (c1vpda) dendrite development.

The development of Drosophila somatosensory neurons is spared under nutrient deficiency so that they grow more dendrites and make animals more sensitive to environmental stimuli.

A cell surface receptor called Ret enables neurons to establish and maintain the organized arrays of dendrites that support communication between neurons.

CD40-activated CD40L-mediated reverse signalling has strikingly opposite effects on the growth of excitatory and inhibitory neuron dendrites in the developing brain of mice.

The somatic Golgi acts as an asymmetric MTOC within Drosophila neurons, and this, together with the action Kinesin-2, helps maintain minus-end-out microtubule polarity with proximal dendrites.

Conditional transgenic miR-9 sponge mice exhibit developmental defects in dendrite growth due to up-regulation of the transcriptional repressor REST.

A nerve bundle is not simply a cable of wires, but has order within it.

The adhesion-GPCR BAI1 shapes dendritic arbors in the hippocampus by associating with Bcr late in development and stimulating its RhoA-GEF activity, resulting in dendritic growth arrest.

LECT-2 guides dendrite growth and branching via a unique ligand-receptor complex.

Afferent-derived factors control the elaboration of appropriate and robust sizes of dendritic arbors by dynamically modulating dendritic growth parameters.
