This study identifies a cytosolic function of DNMT1 in regulating neuronal morphogenesis through microtubule dynamics and organelle trafficking, independent of its catalytic activity and nuclear localization.

The paper shows neuronal migration in developing brains causes DNA damage through mechanostress, which is repaired normally but can lead to disease if unresolved.

This study shows that calcium signals regulate AMPK activity, which controls mitochondrial homeostasis and dendritic growth in developing neurons.

This study shows that βIII spectrin regulates dendrite planarity by controlling microtubule dynamics and preventing abnormal lateral branching in Purkinje cells.
