[HTML][HTML] Neurons and neuronal activity control gene expression in astrocytes to regulate their development and metabolism
The influence that neurons exert on astrocytic function is poorly understood. To investigate
this, we first developed a system combining cortical neurons and astrocytes from closely …

[PDF][PDF] Pax6 exerts regional control of cortical progenitor proliferation via direct repression of Cdk6 and hypophosphorylation of pRb
The mechanisms by which early spatiotemporal expression patterns of transcription factors
such as Pax6 regulate cortical progenitors in a region-specific manner are poorly understood…

The motility of glioblastoma tumour cells is modulated by intracellular cofilin expression in a concentration‐dependent manner
CT Yap, TI Simpson, T Pratt, DJ Price… - Cell motility and the …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
The invasive behaviour of tumour cells has been attributed in part to dysregulated cell
motility. Members of the ADF/Cofilin family of actin‐binding proteins are known to increase …
