Organelle-anchored translation factories coordinate neuronal proteostasis by coupling specific messenger RNAs to mobile organelles through RNA-binding proteins. In neurons, these factories function as long-range transport vehicles, local translation hubs, and stress-responsive nodes, and their disruption drives compartment-specific vulnerability in neurodegenerative disease.
