GrowthSINE Growing Long Distance - RNA Control of Neuronal Extension
Coordinator: WEIZMANN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE (IL)
Neurons are the longest cells, extending axons over distances that can reach four orders of magnitude larger than their cell body diameters. How can they achieve such long distance growth? After initial engagement with target cells, neurons undergo stretch-induced elongation as the nervous system matures with the growth of the organism. The molecular mechanisms enabling such prodigious growth are unknown. Based on strong preliminary evidence, we tested the hypothesis that both the initial elongating and later stretch-induced axon growth act via a shared RNA localization mechanism.Very strikin…
About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)
Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.
EU contribution: €2.5M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2024-11-01 to 2029-10-31.
