Is axonal transport at branch junctions RANDOM or DIRECTED? See answer in the exciting work by @SteveTym and Bridget Curran. Selective axonal transport through branch junctions is directed by growth cone signaling and mediated by KIF1/kinesin-3 motors cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

Selective axonal transport through branch junctions is directed by growth cone signaling and...

Tymanskyj et al. report that anterograde transport of LAMP1 and synaptic vesicles through branch junctions is not random but rather favors longer branches or branches with dynamic growth cones. This...

This is the most detailed model of a human cell to date, obtained using x-ray, NMR and cryoelectron microscopy datasets. ‘Cellular landscape cross-section through a eukaryotic cell.’ - by Evan Ingersoll and Gael McGill.

Bridget Curran’s thesis work is finally published as VOR in eLife. Great job, Bridget! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.94109 @eLife

Multiple guidance mechanisms control axon growth to generate precise T-shaped bifurcation during...

Formation of dorsal axonal tracts in the spinal cord depends on multiple guidance mechanisms that control growth direction of bifurcating axons in the dorsal root entry zone.

4/ Excellence in writing is a necessity for excellence in science. Clear, concise writing reflected purely your understanding of the subject. You cannot explain something well unless you fully understood it. His outline method is now de rigeur in science. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
