In this paper, we identify a new mechanism contributing to sorting microtubules in neuronal axons, and we integrate this mechanism with previously identified ones to explain why almost all microtubules in axons point in the same direction, this way enabling efficient long-range transport required for normal neuronal functioning. The first author, Max, was a student in the Wellcome Trust-funded DTC 'Developmental Mechanisms', and he received the PhD Prize from the Cambridge Centre for Physical Biology for his work.
