Rac1 and Rac3 GTPases differently influence the morphological maturation of dendritic spines in hippocampal neurons.
The Rac1 and Rac3 GTPases are co-expressed in the developing nervous system, where they are involved in different aspects of neuronal development, including the formation of synapses. The deletion of both Rac genes determines a stronger reduction of dendritic spines in vitro compared to the knockout...
