This extreme morphology raises many cellular challenges: in particular, the delay required to transport organelles and cargo from the soma to distant parts of the axon can reach several hours and is incompatible with the rapid adaptation of
subcellular homeostasis.
Understanding the molecular connections between the local regulation of
subcellular homeostasis and axon morphogenesis is therefore a critical challenge in cellular neurobiology.
