Neurite elongation is highly correlated with bulk forward translocation of microtubules
Abstract During the development of the nervous system and regeneration following injury, microtubules (MTs) are required for neurite elongation. Whether this elongation occurs primarily through tubulin assembly at the tip of the axon, the transport of individual MTs, or because MTs translocate forwa...
