The three-sided romance of the lateral line: Glia love axons love precursors love glia
Article Abstract:
The concept of postembryonic development of the lateral line system is examined and have revealed an unexpected triangular relationship when migrating sensory precursors guide axons, axons guide glia and glia control the formation of sensory organs. The remarkable accessibility of the lateral line system may allow a detailed analysis of cell migration and polarization, and may clarify the complex interactions between sensory precursor cells, neurons and glia during development.

Getting a first clue about Spred functions
Article Abstract:
The article reviews the functions and regulations of Spred proteins and Spred proteins summarizes the domain, binding partners, expression patterns and cellular localizations of Spred proteins. The findings suggest the role of Spred proteins in carcinogenesis, cell motility and metastasis formation.
