Article Synopsis
- Proper neuronal connections are essential for the development of the nervous system, requiring precise navigation of axons to their target areas.
- The molecular mechanisms guiding this navigation are not well understood, and a specific family of proteins called eLRRs may play a role in this process.
- Research on C. elegans revealed that mutations in the lron-11 gene lead to navigation defects in various types of neurons, indicating that lron-11 is likely a critical receptor for proper axon navigation in the ventral nerve cord.
