Rac1-mediated endocytosis during ephrin-A2-and semaphorin 3A-induced growth cone collapse

…, G Gallo, PC Letourneau, SC McLoon - Journal of …, 2002 - Soc Neuroscience
Negative guidance molecules are important for guiding the growth of axons and ultimately
for determining the wiring pattern in the developing nervous system. In tissue culture, growth …

Involvement of nitric oxide in the elimination of a transient retinotectal projection in development

HH Wu, CV Williams, SC McLoon - Science, 1994 - science.org
The adult pattern of axonal connections from the eye to the brain arises during development
through the refinement of a roughly ordered set of connections. In the chick visual system, …

Ganglion cells influence the fate of dividing retinal cells in culture

DK Waid, SC McLoon - Development, 1998 - journals.biologists.com
The different retinal cell types arise during vertebrate development from a common pool of
progenitor cells. The mechanisms responsible for determining the fate of individual retinal …

Stabilization of growing retinal axons by the combined signaling of nitric oxide and brain-derived neurotrophic factor

…, G Gallo, PC Letourneau, SC McLoon - Journal of …, 2000 - Soc Neuroscience
The pattern of axonal projections early in the development of the nervous system lacks the
precision present in the adult. During a developmental process of refinement, mistargeted …

Ganglion cell death during normal retinal development in the chick: comparisons with cell death induced by early target field destruction

WF Hughes, SC McLoon - Experimental neurology, 1979 - Elsevier
McLoon in partial fulfillment of his requirements for the Ph.D. … McLoon’s present address is
the Department of Anatomy, … of precision [(23) SC McLoon and WF Hughes, in preparation]. …

Early differentiation of retinal ganglion cells: an axonal protein expressed by premigratory and migrating retinal ganglion cells

SC McLoon, RB Barnes - Journal of Neuroscience, 1989 - Soc Neuroscience
A monoclonal antibody, RA4, was developed that recognizes retinal ganglion cell axons in
the mature retina. Between embryonic days 3 and 9, the RA4 antigen was associated with …

Correlation of nitric oxide synthase expression with changing patterns of axonal projections in the developing visual system

CV Williams, D Nordquist, SC McLoon - Journal of Neuroscience, 1994 - Soc Neuroscience
A precise pattern of connections between the retina and central visual nuclei in the brain is
established during development. Activity- dependent presynaptic mechanisms and NMDA …

Distribution of laminin in the developing peripheral nervous system of the chick

…, KJ Edson, PC Letourneau, SC McLoon - Developmental …, 1986 - Elsevier
During axonal elongation in the developing peripheral nervous system, the temporal and
spatial distribution of adhesive molecules in extracellular matrices and on neighboring cell …

Immediate differentiation of ganglion cells following mitosis in the developing retina

DK Waid, SC McLoon - Neuron, 1995 - cell.com
The aim of this study is to gain insight into the time during the life history of a retinal neuron
that it becomes committed to a particular phenotype. At this point, it is not possible to identify …

Regulation of ganglion cell production by Notch signaling during retinal development

AO Silva, CE Ercole, SC McLoon - Journal of neurobiology, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
… The cell culture techniques used in this study were adapted from Waid and McLoon (1998).
Briefly, whole retinas were dissected on embryonic day five (E5), E7, E9, or E11. In some …
