The study explores molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity - the strengthening or weakening of neuronal connections that enable learning and memory.

For example, the endocytic machinery has to generate sufficient force to bend the membrane bilayer and form an endocytic vesicle. If the resistance of the plasma membrane — the load — is ...

New research details the subcellular structures in neurons that enable signals to be transmitted from where they are received at specific sites on dendrites to the decision-making cell body located ...

Forget the traditional tubular shape—researchers are investigating a pearl-on-a-string formation for axons, unlocking new ...

"Impaired plasma membrane repair plays a crucial role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases, muscle degradation, and aging," says Dr. Raj. Looking ahead, she adds, "Our fundamental ...

These spots are socRNAs being translated by ribosomes in a cell. They get brighter over time, showing active translation. The complex, which includes the socRNA and ribosome, is attached to the plasma ...
