The paper shows that ribosomal proteins are synthesized locally in axons and incorporated into ribosomes in a nucleolus-independent manner, regulated by a novel RNA motif.

The paper shows that receptor-ribosome coupling enables selective mRNA translation in axons in response to guidance cues, with receptor-specific interactomes mediating this process.

The paper uses imaging to analyze nuclear migration in zebrafish retinas and models it as a diffusive process influenced by nuclear concentration gradients.
