Messenger RNAs localized to distal projections of human stem cell derived neurons

Abstract The identification of mRNAs in distal projections of model organisms has led to the discovery of multiple proteins that are locally synthesized for functional roles such as axon guidance, injury signaling and regeneration. The extent to which local protein synthesis is conserved in human ne...
