Exosome biogenesis and organelle trafficking in neurodegeneration.

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

Scientific summary. Intracellular transport pathways are fundamental for cell structure and function. Due to their longevity, complex morphology (long axonal and dendritic extensions) and requirement to maintain synaptic transmission, neurons are heavily dependent upon intracellular transport.
