Researchers have used cryo-electron tomography to uncover new details of the molecular structure of synaptic vesicles, which help transport neurotransmitters in the brain. The study could inform ...
Video depiction of vesicle fusion and tethering. In the active zone in the central left of the video, docked vesicles (dark blue) fuse with the membrane, releasing their contents and being quickly ...
Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they unexpectedly found new information about a protein's special role in getting brain cells to communicate at the right time and place in experiments with ...
How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are transmitted between nerve cells using molecular containers called vesicles. Now, ...
α-synuclein (α-syn) is a small presynaptic protein linked to the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and related disorders, collectively called synucleinopathies. Phosphorylation of α-syn at ...
Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have used a "zap-and-freeze" technology to watch hard-to-see brain cell communications in living brain tissue from mice and humans. Findings from the new ...

Yale researchers at the School of Medicine developed a new imaging technique that measures synaptic activity in patients with Alzheimer’s disease to hopefully link the loss of activity with cognitive ...
Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association Researchers led by Uljana Kravčenko and her colleagues in the lab of Professor Misha Kudryashev, Group Leader of the In Situ ...
