Effects of Dmiro Isoforms on Mitochondrial Transport, Health, and Morphology

Microtubule (MT)-based transport of mitochondria into dendrites and axons is vital for sustaining neuronal excitation and synaptic function. The mitochondrial GTPase Miro is critical for mitochondrial transport by linking MT motor proteins to mitochondria. In flies and mammals, Miro proteins contain...
