Axonal transport is essential for neuronal function, and many neurodevelopmental and
neurodegenerative diseases result from mutations in the axonal transport machinery …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an important regulator of synaptic transmission
and long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus and in other brain regions, playing a …

Neurons, perhaps more than any other cell type, depend on mitochondrial trafficking for their
survival. Recent studies have elucidated a motor/adaptor complex on the mitochondrial …

The kinesin, dynein, and myosin superfamily molecular motors have fundamental roles in
neuronal function, plasticity, morphogenesis, and survival by transporting cargos such as …

Intracellular transport is fundamental for cellular function, survival and morphogenesis.
Kinesin superfamily proteins (also known as KIFs) are important molecular motors that …

It has been 30 years since the discovery that repeated electrical stimulation of neural
pathways can lead to long-term potentiation in hippocampal slices. With its relevance to …

Microplastics (MPs) are a ubiquitous pollutant detected not only in marine and freshwater
bodies, but also in tap and bottled water worldwide. While MPs have been extensively …

Eukaryotic cells create internal order by using protein motors to transport molecules and
organelles along cytoskeletal tracks. Recent genomic and functional studies suggest that …

Intracellular trafficking of cargoes is an essential process to maintain the structure and
function of all mammalian cell types, but especially of neurons because of their extreme …

Neurons relay information via specialized presynaptic compartments for neurotransmission.
Unlike conventional organelles, the specialized apparatus characterizing the neuronal …
