Our overarching research goals are to develop a molecular-level understanding of ion-transport phenomenon across cellular membranes that occurs under normal and pathophysiological conditions. Our ...

This study presents a valuable finding on a new role of glia in activity-dependent synaptic remodeling using the Drosophila NMJ as a model system. The evidence supporting the claims of the authors is ...

Abstract: The graphene-AlGaN van der Waals junction and their array were prepared by a novel patterned graphene growth method, in which the photosensitive polymer was served as the carbon source.

A reduction of the retrotransposon at the Drosophila NMJ leads to a drastic increase in synaptogenesis and plasticity (-copia). The structure of Copia (center), shows a large retroviral like structure ...

In December of 1993, former World Boxing Champion John Famechon (who had sustained severe incapacitating brain injuries in August 1991) began a new, complex multi-movement therapy and rehabilitation ...

Not revised: This Reviewed Preprint includes the authors’ original preprint (without revision), an eLife assessment, and public reviews. In this manuscript, Chang et al. investigated the cell ...

Research reveals a protein complex critical for brain connectivity and behavior, highlighting its role in disorders like anxiety, potentially guiding future therapies. Credit: SciTechDaily.com ...

New research from Oregon Health & Science University for the first time reveals the function of a little-understood junction between cells in the brain that could have important treatment implications ...

Summary: New research unveils the function of a previously little-understood brain junction involving oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). These cells, integral in forming the protective myelin ...

The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor at the nerve-muscle synapse resides in an asymmetric cholesterol-rich membrane, the inner leaflet of which consists largely of ordered lipid assemblies due to a ...
