Cytoskeletal dynamics and transport in growth cone motility and axon guidance. (2003, background): “This would cause F-actin dynamics to be as other systems (Rodriguez et al., 2003).”
The PAR proteins: fundamental players in animal cell polarization. (2007, background): “Centrosome-nucleated microtubules can induce movements of a microfilament-rich cortex in a number of systems (Rodriguez et al., 2003), but treatments that eliminate all but a small density of centrosome-associated microtubules fail to prevent cell polarization in this system, raising the possibility”
The role of the Rho GTPases in neuronal development. (2005, background): “In addition to these drastic changes in membrane composition and molecular sorting, a polarizing cell also requires coordinated changes between the actin and microtubule cytoskeletons to promote and support growth (Baas 2002; Ledesma and Dotti 2003; Rodriguez et al. 2003).”
The trip of the tip: understanding the growth cone machinery (2009, background): “The role of MTs during growth cone steering clearly requires the participation of, and interaction with, acti”
