Calcium Signals Control Wnt-Dependent Dendrite Growth
Activity-dependent dendritic growth is dependent upon intracellular calcium signaling. Yet the specific mechanisms by which calcium signals lead to morphologic changes in dendrites are not well understood. A paper in this issue of Neuron by Wayman et al. describes a novel calcium-dependent signaling cascade linking neuronal activity and calcium influx to expression of Wnt-2, a member of a famil...
متن کاملSignals That Trigger Dendrite Growth Are Identified
How does a dendrite grow? The answer to that question is central to understanding development of neurons, and thus to understanding entire nervous systems. But while the molecular signals underlying axon development have been relatively well described, comparatively little is known about the mechanisms of dendrite development, especially at its earliest stages. In this issue of PLoS Biology, Le...
متن کاملWNT Signals Control FGF-Dependent Limb Initiation and AER Induction in the Chick Embryo
A regulatory loop between the fibroblast growth factors FGF-8 and FGF-10 plays a key role in limb initiation and AER induction in vertebrate embryos. Here, we show that three WNT factors signaling through beta-catenin act as key regulators of the FGF-8/FGF-10 loop. The Wnt-2b gene is expressed in the intermediate mesoderm and the lateral plate mesoderm in the presumptive chick forelimb region. ...
متن کاملLithium Dendrite Growth Control Using Local Temperature Variation
We have quantified lithium dendrite growth in an optically accessible symmetric Limetal cell, charged under imposed temperatures on the electrode surface. We have found that the dendrite length measure is reduced up to 43% upon increasing anodic temperature of about 50 0 C. We have deduced that imposing higher temperature on the electrode surface will augment the reduction rate relative to dend...
متن کاملTerminating Wnt signals
Nuclear targeting of beta-catenin is an obligatory step in Wnt signal transduction, but the factors that control import and export remain to be clarified. In this issue, Hendriksen et al. (p. 785) show that the RanBP3 export factor antagonizes beta-catenin/T cell factor (TCF) transcription by targeting the signaling-competent form of beta-catenin. We speculate that cells may use multiple export...
