Wnt signals and frizzled activity orient anterior-posterior axon outgrowth in C. elegans.

abstract：:Asymmetric division, a hallmark of endospore development, generates two cells, a larger mother cell and a smaller forespore. Approximately 75% of the forespore chromosome must be translocated across the division septum into the forespore by the DNA translocase SpoIIIE. Asymmetric division also triggers cell-specific t...
