Force control in neuronal growth cones via membrane nanodomains (A06)

• Subject Area: Cell Biology
• Term: since 2018
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 386797833

The project studies formation and function of curvature-dependent signaling platforms during neuronal development. Specifically, we will investigate how recruitment of curvature-sensitive actin-regulatory proteins to transiently deformed membrane sections regulates growth cone dynamics and neurite outgrowth in developing mouse neurons.
