The paper reconstructs growth cones of callosal projection neurons in the developing mouse brain and finds they have a planar, dorsoventrally oriented morphology with filopodia that precede accelerated axon growth.

This study optimizes an AAV vector for efficient gene delivery to epidermal keratinocytes in vitro and in vivo by engineering capsid and promoter components.

The paper shows that most axonal mitochondria in mammalian neurons lack mtDNA and do not produce ATP, contrasting with dendritic mitochondria.
