4-Br-A23187 caused a calcium influx into chick sensory neurones and raised cytosolic calcium from a rest level of 97 +/- 7 nM to a peak of 296 +/- 30 nM. Despite the continued presence of ionophore, however, cytosolic calcium concentrations then fell. After 30 min in ionophore, cytosolic calcium concentration had returned to 105 +/- 5 nM, not significantly different from the value before ionophore...
Neuronal growth cones, the motile tips of elongating axons and dendrites, respond very precisely to cues encountered during pathfinding. During the past year, our knowledge about their sensory function, their integrative properties, and their motor function has advanced significantly. In particular, growth cone filopodia are currently being recognized for their prominent roles as sensors, transducers,...
Guidepost cells are known to alter the behavior of growth cones in vivo, yet the nature of communication and the type of signals employed are largely undefined. The present study demonstrates that model guideposts, composed of a single molecular species, are sufficient to change the navigation and the behavior of advancing growth cones well beyond the time of contact. Laminin on model guideposts caused...
