Cytoplasmic polyadenylation and cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-dependent mRNA regulation are involved in <it>Xenopus </it>retinal axon development

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Translation in axons is required for growth cone chemotropic responses to many guidance cues. Although locally synthesized proteins are beginning to be identified, how specific mRNAs are selected for translation remains unclear. Cont...
