Summary
Cells rely on a highly organized transport system to move essential materials, such as proteins, organelles, and signaling molecules, to precise locations. This process is especially critical in neurons, where cargo must travel long distances to maintain proper function and survival. Failures in intracellular transport are linked to major neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Although molecular motors such as kinesin are responsible for carrying cargo along cellular “tracks” called microtubules, it remains unclear how these motors are selectively regulated to
