Condensate Biology at the Synapse Brain functioning critically relies on neuronal communication that mainly occurs by chemical signaling at the specialized contacts known as synapses. At synapses, messenger molecules are … Read More
Electronic and molecular approaches for neural recording: deciphering the brain in space and time Resolving neuronal activity in space and time is a long-sought capability in neuroscience, which is, however, still … Read More
Single-molecule biophysical approaches to studying the mechanisms of motor proteins Ribosomes are molecular machines made of protein and RNA that translate mRNA into proteins. The biogenesis of new ribosomes is the most energetically costly process in the cell, accounting for ~60% of all ATP consumed. New ribosomes begin as rRNA, and are sequentially matured through … Read More
