The model of local axon homeostasis - explaining the role and regulation of microtubule bundles in axon maintenance and pathology
Abstract 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 organism's lifetime. This makes them key lesion sites in pathological processes o...
