Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is a spatially regulated process in axons; autophagosomes form preferentially in the distal axon tip then move actively and processively toward the cell body. Despite the primarily unidirectional transport observed in live-cell imaging experiments, both anterograde-directed KIF5/kinesin-1 motors and retrograde-directed dynein motors are tightly associated with axonal autophagosomes. Here, we discuss our...
