Is axonal transport at branch junctions RANDOM or DIRECTED? See answer in the exciting work by @SteveTym and Bridget Curran.

Selective axonal transport through branch junctions is directed by growth cone signaling and mediated by KIF1/kinesin-3 motors https://t.co/Yml7uIocQt

What an exciting #cshlneurocon conference @CSHL! Also exciting to see the participation of @JeffersonUniv students and faculty, with a huge crowd for @drosophilosophy.

[Le Ma @BranchingLab]

Great to have @stephgupton1 to start off our Neuroscience seminar series today. Beautiful talk on how axons grow, branch, and synapse.

[Le Ma @BranchingLab]

@ThompsonPeerLab @eLife Thanx, Katie, and any comments will be appreciated.

[Le Ma @BranchingLab]

Bridget Curran’s thesis work is finally published as VOR in eLife. Great job, Bridget! https://t.co/twVFi8HqYm @eLife

[Le Ma @BranchingLab]

Bon Voyage! Another celebration on a summer day for @SteveTym and Bridget, who are embarking on their next career adventure. You will do AWESOME things!!!

[Le Ma @BranchingLab]

Wonderful celebration @Puttshack to send Bridget Curran off to her new adventure.

⁦Don’t miss @SteveTym⁩ poster (board B413) this afternoon about using optogenetic tools and artificial cargos to probe transport selectivity.

[Le Ma @BranchingLab]

Great talk by @SteveTym on the opening day of #CellBio23 about using optogenetic tools to study axonal transport.
