Role of cytoplasmic dynein in the axonal transport of microtubules and neurofilaments

Role of cytoplasmic dynein in the axonal transport of microtubules and neurofilaments

Recent studies have shown that the transport of microtubules (MTs) and neurofilaments (NFs) within the axon is rapid, infrequent, asynchronous, and bidirectional. Here, we used RNA interference to investigate the role of cytoplasmic dynein in powering these transport events. To reveal transport of M...
