Abstract

Neuronal dendrites are characterized by an anti-parallel microtubule organization. The mechanism that regulates dendritic microtubule organization is still unclear. Cao et al. demonstrate that the microtubule minus-end binding protein CAMSAP2 and kinesin-14 motor KIFC3 work together to organize dendritic microtubules and control dendrite branching.
