The Immunoglobulin Superfamily Member Basigin Is Required for Complex Dendrite Formation in Drosophila

Coordination of dendrite growth with changes in the surrounding substrate occurs widely in the nervous system and is vital for establishing and maintaining neural circuits. However, the molecular basis of this important developmental process remains poorly understood. To identify potential mediators...
