Morphogenesis and maintenance of dendrites, the neuronal processes that collect input information, require diverse genetic programs and molecular signals that converge to actin and microtubule cytoskeleton. Using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a model, I will discuss our recent research that provides interesting insights on how cytoskeleton links extrinsic signals to shaping and maintaining dendrite morphologies.
