How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The axonal transport of mitochondria (2005, background): “myosin VI), whereas kinesins move organelles toward microtubule plus ends, and dyneins move them toward minus ends (Hirokawa et al., 2009; Lister et al., 2004; Trybus, 2008; Vale, 2003).”
Endosome maturation (2011, background): “Kinesins constitute a large family of mainly plus-enddirected motor proteins (Hirokawa et al, 2009).”
Stochastic mechano-chemical kinetics of molecular motors: A multidisciplinary enterprise from a physicist’s perspective (2012, background): “The structures and mechanisms of all the kinesin families have been summarized in several reviews [591, 592, 593, 586].”
Molecular motors in neurons: transport mechanisms and roles in brain function, development, and disease. (2010, neutral): “The molecular mechanisms of this striking body axis formation were approached microscopically by observing the ventral node of mouse embryos, which is a ciliated organ transiently exposed on the surface of the ventral midline (Nonaka et al., 1998; Hirokawa et al., 2009a).”
