Semaphorin signaling in morphogenesis: found in translation: Figure 1.

Abstract

Semaphorins play diverse roles in axon guidance and epithelial morphogenetic cell movements. In this issue of Genes & Development, Nukazuka and colleagues (1025–1036) show that semaphorins regulate Caenorhabditis elegans male tail morphogenesis by stimulating the translation of specific messages, including the actin-depolymerizing enzyme cofilin.
