New cell biological explanations for kinesin-linked axon degeneration

2021-12-23

Abstract excerpt

Axons are the slender, up to 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. Axon maintenance requires life-sustaining motor protein-driven transport distributing materials and organelles from the distant cell body. It seems logic that impairing this transport causes sy...
