  Identification of the growth cone as a probe and driver of neuronal migration in the injured brain

  Structure and functions of the tip of migratory neurons remain elusive. Here, the authors show that the PTPσ-expressing growth cone senses extracellular matrix changes and drives neuronal migration in the injured brain, leading to the functional recovery.

  ABHD4-dependent developmental anoikis safeguards the embryonic brain

  During embryonic development, neural progenitor cells undergo numerous cell divisions. Here, the authors show that ABHD4-mediated developmental anoikis distinguishes the physiological delamination and the pathological detachment of progenitor cells with relevance to fetal alcohol-induced apoptosis.
