摘要：

During development and regeneration of the nervous system, axons must correctly navigate to their specific targets through a complex molecular environment. Recent work has shed light on how GTPases of the Ras family are involved in transducing extracellular signals into responses that lead to directed neurite outgrowth. (C) Current Biology Ltd.
