An essential regulator of cytoskeletal dynamics during the process of neurite extension is rho-associated protein kinase. However, whether Rho kinase regulates microtubule remodeling or the distribution of adhesive proteins to mediate neurite outgrowth remains unclear. By using the ROCK inhibitor, Y-27632, and the agonist, lysophosphatidic acid, Kenen Chen and colleagues from First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University in China observed that neurite outgrowth, ...Friday, 27 December 2013
Researchers Discover How Rho-associated Protein Kinase Modulates Neurite Extension
