The paper shows that retrograde mitochondrial transport is necessary for mitochondrial biogenesis in zebrafish neurons, linking transport to nuclear gene expression.

The paper shows that combining elevated neuronal activity with mitochondrial damage increases mitophagy in axons, requiring Pink1.

The paper identifies a mechanism of mitochondrial self-renewal in sensory neurons through asymmetric division, showing mtDNA-rich mitochondria at axon branch points produce mtDNA-depleted daughters.

The paper identifies CCSer2 as a protein that gates dynein activity at the cell periphery by inhibiting its regulator Ndel1, enabling spatially restricted dynein activation.

This study shows gut microbiota enhances enteroendocrine cell mitochondrial function and maturation through calcium signaling changes.

This study identifies NudC's role in regulating Lis1 stability to control microtubule dynamics in axon terminals, showing that NudC loss leads to increased microtubule stability through dynein accumulation.

This study shows retrograde mitochondrial transport is essential for maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis and synaptic activity in neurons.

This study identifies Ret51 as a marker for pioneer neurons and shows its role in axon growth and growth cone dynamics through retrograde transport.
