TIPsy tour guides: How microtubule plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs) facilitate axon guidance
The growth cone is a dynamic cytoskeletal vehicle, which drives the end of a developing axon. It serves to interpret and navigate through the complex landscape and guidance cues of the early nervous system. The growth cone’s distinctive cytoskeletal organization offers a fascinating platform to stu...
