RNA granules, sites for the storage, transport, and regulation of RNA molecules within cells, are transported along axons and then translated locally, far from the cell body.
Study finds that the transport of mRNAs into axons along with lysosomal vesicles prevents axon degeneration retrieved 6 May 2024 from https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-05-mrnas-axons-lysosomal-vesicles-axon.html
