Combinatorial use of translational co-factors for cell type-specific regulation during neuronal morphogenesis in Drosophila

► Nanos and Pumilio promote dendrite outgrowth and stabilize existing dendrite branches. ► Nanos and Pumilio regulate Head Involution Defective and Cut expression in da neurons. ► Brain Tumor interacts genetically with Nanos and Pumilio for dendrite morphogenesis.
