This study shows that 3-nitrotyrosine causes axonal shortening in non-dopaminergic neurons by inhibiting mitochondrial motility, independent of its integration into tubulin.

The paper develops a model showing that differences in microtubule turnover between axonal branches depend on their distance from terminals, supported by experimental evidence.

This study shows that intermitochondrial ATP signaling maintains uniform distribution of stationary mitochondria in axons by enhancing motility of neighboring mitochondria.
