Participation of Rabs during Neuronal Development and Disease
Author(s): Rozés-Salvador V and Conde C*
Membrane traffic has been widely studied in recent decades, and now it is clear that its participation in biological
processes such as cellular migration, mitosis, and immune response, among others, is crucial and determinant.
During the development of the nervous system, membrane trafficking organizes both the differential distribution
and degradation of specific components, among others. Failures in these functions lead to the development of
neurological pathologies that can be progressive, chronic or even lethal such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's and
Parkinson's diseases. These pathologies have significant health and economic costs in many countries. For this
reason, research is being focused on the study of those components (mainly proteins) involved in membrane traffic
during health and disease. In this short communication, we summarize main findings an.. Read More»
