The cadherin Flamingo mediates level-dependent interactions that guide photoreceptor target choice in Drosophila.

abstract：:At least 30 types of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) send distinct messages through the optic nerve to the brain. Available strategies of promoting axon regeneration act on only some of these types. Here we tested the hypothesis that overexpressing developmentally important transcription factors in adult RGCs could repr...
