The intracellular transport of organelles along an axon is crucial for the maintenance and
function of a neuron. Anterograde axonal transport has a role in supplying proteins and …

Cells transport and sort proteins and lipids, after their synthesis, to various destinations at
appropriate velocities in membranous organelles and protein complexes. Intracellular …

Cell Movements vividly describes how complex movements can arise from the properties
and behaviors of biological molecules. This second edition is updated throughout with …

Various molecular cell biology and molecular genetic approaches have indicated significant
roles for kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs) in intracellular transport and have shown that …

Disruption of axonal transport leads to a disorganized distribution of mitochondria and other
organelles and is thought to be responsible for some types of neuronal disease. The reason …

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in animal cells is an extensive, morphologically continuous
network of membrane tubules and flattened cisternae. The ER is a multifunctional organelle; …

The cargo that the molecular motor kinesin moves along microtubules has been elusive. We
searched for binding partners of the COOH terminus of kinesin light chain, which contains …

The large size and extreme polarization of neurons is crucial to their ability to communicate
at long distances and to form the complex cellular networks of the nervous system. The size …

Membrane‐bounded organelles (MBOs) are delivered to different domains in neurons by
fast axonal transport. The importance of kinesin for fast antero grade transport is well …

In Drosophila embryos, microtubules oriented along apical–basal directions support
saltatory vesicle movement. Vesicle traffic includes lipid droplets whose distribution shifts …
