Localized Axonal Translation in Retrograde Injury Signaling
Local translation in dendrites is known to have important physiological roles, but so far evidence is lacking for an essential role of mRNA localization in axons. In this study, Mike Fainzilber and co...
Flowers encourage pollinator visitation by producing nectar rewards, but there are also examples of deceptive flowers, such as many orchids, that provide nothing in return for pollination services. Th...
Michael Glotzer takes us on a personal tour of the paper from his group that first described centralspindlin, and discusses how our understanding of this com......
