title: RNA Transport: From Head to Toe in Radial Glial Cells.
abstract: Intracellular mRNA localization critically contributes to proper brain development and function. A recent study demonstrates that mRNAs are actively transported in radial glial cells from the soma to the distal basal endfeet, where they are locally translated.
