The Smith Lab published a new study in Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience

In their new study titled "LIS1 and NDEL1 Regulate Axonal Trafficking of Mitochondria in Mature Neurons", members of the Smith lab report a novel function of LIS1 and its protein partner NDEL1 in regulating mitochondrial dynamics in adult axons, raising the possibility that defects in the LIS1/NDEL1 dynein regulatory pathway could contribute to mitochondrial diseases with axonal pathologies.
