Molecular Motor KIF3B Acts as a Key Regulator of Dendritic Architecture in Cortical Neurons
Neurons require a well-coordinated intercellular transport system to maintain their normal cellular function and morphology. The kinesin family of proteins (KIFs) fills this role by regulating the transport of a diverse array of cargos in post-mitotic cells. On the other hand, in mitotic cells, KIFs...
