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 cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

4/ Excellence in writing is a necessity for excellence in science. Clear, concise writing reflected purely your understanding of the subject. You cannot explain something well unless you fully understood it. His outline method is now de rigeur in science.
