A central role for Numb/Nbl in multiple Shh-mediated axon repulsion processes
Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is an axon guidance molecule that can act as either a chemorepellent
or a chemoattractant, depending on the neuron type and their developmental stage.
In the developing spinal cor...

Our first original paper has been accepted in iScience! We provide new insights into the molecular machinery of axon guidance in two distinct developmental systems: the neural tube and the visual system.
