    Dysregulation of mTOR signaling mediates common neurite and migration defects in both idiopathic and 16p11.2 deletion autism neural precursor cells

    Smrithi Prem, Bharati Dev ... Emanuel DiCicco-Bloom
    Alterations in mTOR signaling drive similar dysregulations in the critical mid-fetal neurodevelopmental processes of neurite outgrowth and cell migration in two distinct subsets of autism, idiopathic and 16p11.2 deletion.

    Repulsive Sema3E-Plexin-D1 signaling coordinates both axonal extension and steering via activating an autoregulatory factor, Mtss1

    Namsuk Kim, Yan Li ... Won-Jong Oh
    Repulsive guidance cues enhance a dual-functioning axonal trafficking facilitator, allowing navigating axons to ensure proper pathfinding by coordinating positive extension and negative steering during nervous system development.

    ROCK and the actomyosin network control biomineral growth and morphology during sea urchin skeletogenesis

    Eman Hijaze, Tsvia Gildor ... Smadar Ben-Tabou de-Leon
    ROCK and the actomyosin network are essential for multiple aspects of sea urchin skeletogenesis, suggesting an independent deployment of these factors in biomineralization across Eukaryotes.
