Fig. 3From: Novel function of PIWIL1 in neuronal polarization and migration via regulation of microtubule-associated proteinsPIWIL1 knockdown impairs polarization of cortical neurons ex vivo. a Diagram of the ex vivo assay. b, c Average numbers of primary neurites of electroporated cells. d Immunostaining: cultured neurons with PIWIL1 knockdown exhibited multipolar morphology and lower levels of Tau but not Tuj1. e Average neurites’ fluorescence intensity of Tau in GFP+ neurons.
