Transport of membrane proteins within the cell is thought to mainly rely on microtubule-based transport, but the role of microtubules in neuronal cell recycling of synaptic vesicles is unclear. Here, the authors show that axonal movement of recycling vesicles may be driven not by microtubules but primarily by actin polymerization.
