Abstract excerpt
Impaired axon transport is one of the earliest pathological manifestations of several neurodegenerative diseases, and mutations in motor proteins can exacerbate or cause degeneration (Williamson and Cleveland, 1999; Gunawardena and Goldstein, 2004; Stokin and Goldstein, 2006). Compromised function in lysosomes and other degradative organelles that intersect with the lysosomal pathway are also strongly implicated...
