Neurons have highlighted the needs for decentralized gene expression and specific RNA function in somato-dendritic and axonal compartments, as well as in intercellular communication via extracellular vesicles (EVs). Despite advances in miRNA biology,...

Vinculin is required for neuronal mechanosensing but not for axon outgrowth (2021)
Journal Article
Wang, D. Y., Melero, C., Albaraky, A., Atherton, P., Jansen, K. A., Dimitracopoulos, A., …Ballestrem, C. (2021). Vinculin is required for neuronal mechanosensing but not for axon outgrowth. Experimental Cell Research, 407(2), Article 112805. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yexcr.2021.112805

Integrin receptors are transmembrane proteins that bind to the extracellular matrix (ECM). In most animal cell types integrins cluster together with adaptor proteins at focal adhesions that sense and respond to external mechanical signals. In the cen...
