From page 1...
... Although the elucidation of protein transport mechanisms has made impressive progress in recent years, intracellular transport of RNA remains less well understood. The National Academy of Sciences Colloquium on Molecular Kinesis in Cellular Function and Plasticity therefore was devised as an interdisciplinary platform for participants to discuss intracellular molecular transport from a variety of different perspectives.

... In addition, local translation of mRNA(s) encoding one or several of the scaffolding proteins also may contribute to the dynamic plasticity at a postsynaptic specialization after stimulation (21~.
