Wildwood

Wildwood is a signaling protein involved in the development and maintenance of nerve cells in the nervous system. It belongs to a family called L1CAMs, which help nerve cells grow, stick together, and connect properly. Wildwood plays a crucial role in guiding nerve fibers to their targets during brain and nerve development, ensuring efficient communication within the nervous system. Research into Wildwood helps us understand neurological development and potential links to neurological disorders when these processes go awry.
