Title: Neuronal Fat and Dendrite Morphogenesis: The Goldilocks Effect. Author: Sundararajan L, Miller DM. Journal: Trends Neurosci; 2018 May; 41(5):250-252. PubMed ID: 29548516. Abstract: Two recent studies by Meltzer et al. and Ziegler et al. use Drosophila larvae to demonstrate that cell-autonomous regulation of lipid biosynthesis defines the complexity and function of highly branched nociceptive neurons. Their findings show that lipid biosynthesis in the neuron is fine-tuned for optimal dendrite morphology and sensitivity.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
