Single-molecule insights into mRNA dynamics in neurons
Highlights • mRNA localization into neuronal processes and localized translation is an efficient mechanism of local protein delivery in neurons due to their long processes and synaptic function. • Single-mRNA studies in neurons illustrate the diverse and stochastic nature of mRNA trafficking into ne...

Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • mRNA localization into neuronal processes and localized translation is an efficient mechanism of local protein delivery in neurons due to their long processes and synaptic function. • Single-mRNA studies in neurons illustrate the diverse and stochastic nature of mRNA trafficking into neuronal processes. • Single-molecule imaging of endogenous mRNA has illuminated a novel and unexpected understanding of mRNA dynamics. |
