    • Agrin and Synaptic Laminin Are Required to Maintain Adult Neuromuscular Junctions 

      Samuel, Melanie Ann; Valdez, Gregorio; Tapia, Juan; Lichtman, Jeff; Sanes, Joshua R. (Public Library of Science, 2012)
      As synapses form and mature the synaptic partners produce organizing molecules that regulate each other’s differentiation and ensure precise apposition of pre- and post-synaptic specializations. At the skeletal neuromuscular ...

    • Synchronous Symmetry Breaking in Neurons with Different Neurite Counts 

      Wissner-Gross, Zachary Daniel; Scott, Mark A.; Steinmeyer, Joseph D.; Yanik, Mehmet Fatih (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      As neurons develop, several immature processes (i.e., neurites) grow out of the cell body. Over time, each neuron breaks symmetry when only one of its neurites grows much longer than the rest, becoming an axon. This symmetry ...
