The model of local axon homeostasis - explaining the role and regulation of microtubule bundles in axon maintenance and pathology
Axons are the slender, cable-like, up to meter-long projections of neurons that electrically wire our brains and bodies. In spite of their challenging morphology, they usually need to be maintained for an orga... (Source: Neural Development)
