New on bioRxiv! 🧠🧬 Our work uncovers how modularity in the DCC-ECD shapes axon guidance and neuronal migration.Using mouse lines with mutations in Netrin-1 and Draxin binding sites, we show how distinct DCC modules drive precise circuit assembly #Neuroscience #AxonGuidance #DCC #Netrin1 #Draxin
Modularity in the DCC extracellular domain elicits distinct effects on axon guidance https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2025.12.11.693717v1
