Unlocking the Brain: Peptide-Guided Nanoparticles Deliver mRNA to Neurons Penn Engineering Blog MRNAs encoding a number of transmembrane proteins, including ion channels, are found within the presynaptic transcriptome and protein translation machinery is present in mature axons. Biever et al. review recent evidence supporting presynaptic translation and intra-axonal synthesis of transmembrane proteins. The complexity of localized translational control lies in …
