Stochastic growth and selective stabilization generate stereotyped dendritic arbors

Rebecca Shi, Xue Yan Ho, Li Tao, Caitlin Ann Taylor, Ting Zhao, Wei Zou, Malcolm Lizzappi, Kelsie Eichel, Kang Shen

The paper shows that dendritic growth is stochastic and ligand-free, while ligand binding inhibits growth and specifies shape in C. elegans neurons.

Dendrites use mechanosensitive channels to proofread ligand-mediated guidance during morphogenesis.

Tao Li, Sean Coakley, Rebecca Shi, Kang Shen

This study shows that mechanosensitive DEG/ENaC channels are essential for dendritic arbor morphogenesis in C. elegans by mediating mechanical feedback during ligand-mediated guidance.
