Semaphorins deployed to repel cell migrants at spinal cord borders (2008)

Chauvet, Sophie, Rougon, Geneviève

Abstract In the spinal cord, developing motor neurons extend their axons into the periphery while their cell bodies remain within the motor columns in the spinal cord. Two recent papers show that...

Post-training intrahippocampal injection of synthetic poly-α-2,8-sialic acid-neural cell adhesion molecule mimetic peptide improves spatial long-term performance in mice

Florian, Cédrick, Foltz, Jane, Norreel, Jean-Chrétien, Rougon, Geneviève, Roullet, Pascal

Several data have shown that the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is necessary for long-term memory formation and might play a role in the structural reorganization of synapses. The NCAM, encoded...

The PEN5 Epitope Identifies an Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cell Population and Pilocytic Astrocytomas

Figarella-Branger, Dominique, Daniel, Laurent, André, Pascale, Guia, Sophie, Renaud, Wanda, Monti, Gilberte, ...

PEN5 is a sulfated polylactosamine carbohydrate epitope first described in a subpopulation of mature natural killer cells. Here we report that it is also expressed in a developmentally regulated...

Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule, a New Cytoadhesion Receptor for Plasmodium falciparum-Infected Erythrocytes Capable of Aggregation▿

Pouvelle, Bruno, Matarazzo, Valéry, Jurzynski, Christophe, Nemeth, Johannes, Ramharter, Michael, Rougon, Geneviève, ...

The cytoadhesion of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (IEs) to the endothelial cells lining the microvasculature, clogging the microvessels of various organs, is a key event in the...

The Glycosylphosphatidyl Inositol-Anchored Adhesion Molecule F3/Contactin Is Required for Surface Transport of Paranodin/Contactin-Associated Protein (Caspr)

Faivre-Sarrailh, Catherine, Gauthier, France, Denisenko-Nehrbass, Natalia, Le Bivic, André, Rougon, Geneviève, Girault, Jean-Antoine

Paranodin/contactin-associated protein (caspr) is a transmembrane glycoprotein of the neurexin superfamily that is highly enriched in the paranodal regions of myelinated axons. We have investigated...
