RAB-10 regulates dendritic branching by balancing dendritic transport
Tremendous cellular growth is required to construct a complex dendritic arbor, and it remains unclear how membrane and protein components are transported to support a rapidly growing, polarized dendrite. Shown here is the elaborate dendritic arbor of a PVD sensory neuron in Caenorhabditis elegans. In the PVD neuron, we demonstrate that the regulation of dendritic trafficking by the small GTPase RAB-10 is necessary to pattern a complex dendritic arbor. Taylor et al.
