X Abstract

Axonal transport of organelles has emerged as a key process in the regulation of neuronal differentiation and survival. Several components of this specialised transport machinery, their regulators and vesicular cargoes are mutated or altered in many neurodegenerative conditions. The molecular characterisation of these mechanisms has furthered our understanding of neuronal homeostasis, providing insights into the spatio-temporal control of membrane traffic and signalling in neurons with a precision not achievable in other cellular systems. Here, we summarise the recent advances in the field of axonal trafficking of different organelles, and the essential role of motor and adaptor proteins in this process.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
