    Death receptor 6 does not regulate axon degeneration and Schwann cell injury responses during Wallerian degeneration

    Bogdan Beirowski, Haoran Huang, Elisabetta Babetto
    Rigorous analysis in two knockout mouse lines demonstrates that death receptor 6 is not required for axon degeneration or Schwann cell injury responses following peripheral nerve transection.

    Human dynein–dynactin is a fast processive motor in living cells

    Vikash Verma, Patricia Wadsworth, Thomas J Maresca
    TIRF imaging of CRISPR-edited human cells shows dynein–dynactin complexes move processively with motility parameters consistent with the presence of multi-dynein assemblies (>one dynein heavy chain dimer per dynactin) in cells.
