A spindle checkpoint functions during mitosis in the early Caenorhabditis elegans embryo.

The role of the prion protein in the molecular basis for synaptic plasticity and nervous system development.

Stable kinesin and dynein assemblies drive the axonal transport of mammalian prion protein vesicles.

Subpixel colocalization reveals amyloid precursor protein-dependent kinesin-1 and dynein association with axonal vesicles.

Fast axonal transport of the proteasome complex depends on membrane interaction and molecular motor function.

Biophysical challenges to axonal transport: motor-cargo deficiencies and neurodegeneration.
