Biomolecular bonsai: Controlling the pruning and strengthening of neuron branches

KYUSHU UNIVERSITY IMAGE: Like a bonsai, neurons called mitral cells also grow multiple branches. In the beginning, mitral cells branch into many glomeruli, but as development progresses, a single branch is strengthened and the others are pruned away. Kyushu University researchers studying mouse olfactory neurons found that BMPR-2 is one of the key regulators of...
