A summary thread of our Cell Reports paper published last week. In brief, we found a novel activity for netrin1 in the developing spinal cord: it acts as a boundary, to limit Bmp signaling to the dorsal most spinal cord. 1/9 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Netrin1 patterns the dorsal spinal cord through modulation of Bmp signaling

We have identified an unexpected role for netrin1, a canonical axonal guidance cue, as a suppressor of bone morphogenetic protein (Bmp) signaling in t…
