Nature Chemical Biology - Excitatory synapses are located in confined chemical spaces called the dendritic spines. These are atypical femtoliter-order microdomains where the behavior of even single ...

The functioning of the brain relies on the establishment of very precise connections between neurons: synapses. A recent ...

An electrical impulse cannot directly cross the gap so a different mechanism has to be used. Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent ...

We found the conservation of fundamental principles from liquid condensate biology in the nano-organization of the synapse, demonstrating how a multitude of protein interactions work in synchrony ...

When naive T cells encounter antigen-presenting cells (APCs), membrane and cytoplasmic molecules rearrange at the T cell–APC contact area to form the immune synapse. Finetti et al. now reveal an ...

The rate of development of poikilothermic animals, such as insects, fish, and reptiles, is determined by environmental temperature. A research team has recently demonstrated how temperature can affect ...

Boost Neuroscience is a “stealth” biotech company that has developed a proprietary synapse network platform ... his work on synaptic transmission and biology. The company, backed by Catalio ...
