Abstract

In large cells like neurons, how is microtubule polymerization initiated at large distances from the cell body and the main microtubule-organizing center? In this issue of Neuron, Ori-McKenney et al. (2012) demonstrate that Golgi outposts mediate acentrosomal microtubule nucleation and reveal it is crucial for dendrite morphogenesis.
