Different mechanisms link gain and loss of kinesin functions to axonal degeneration

2025-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Axons are the slender, often meter-long projections of neurons that form the biological cables wiring our bodies. Most of these delicate structures must survive for an organism’s lifetime, meaning up to a century in humans. Long-term maintenance and sustained functionality of axons requires motor protein-driven transport distributing life-sustaining materials and organelles to places of need. It seems therefore pl...
