What is the role of semaphorins and Eph ligands in development of the nervous system?

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. The semaphorins and Eph ligands are growth factors that stimulate cell division of neurons.
  2. The semaphorins and Eph ligands act as signals for the outgrowth of neuronal growth cones; in general, both lead growth cones to turn away.
  3. The semaphorins and Eph ligands act as signals for the outgrowth of neuronal growth cones; in general, both lead growth cones to come toward them.
  4. The semaphorins and Eph ligands are cell-cell adhesion molecules that bind adjacent neurons together.
