Axonal transport: A new role for local translation?
Fang Shin Nian, Silvia Turchetto, Nguyen Laurent · FENS Forum 2024
In our research, we delve into the intricacies of neuronal structure and function, focusing on the crucial roles of axonal transport and localized protein synthesis for maintaining neuronal communication and overall health. Neurons rely on axonal transport to move organelles, proteins, and mRNAs across their extensive dendritic and axonal networks, a process facilitated by molecular motors traveling along microtubules. This is essential for cellular equilibrium and, when disrupted, is often linked to neurological diseases. We particularly explore the regulation of microtubule dynamics through
