Munc13 supports fusogenicity of non-docked vesicles at synapses with disrupted active zones

Authors Tan C, de Nola G, Qiao C, Imig C, Born RT, Brose N, Kaeser PS Journal eLife Citation eLife 11:e79077. Abstract Active zones consist of protein scaffolds that are tightly attached to the presynaptic plasma membrane. They dock and prime synaptic vesicles, couple them to voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, and

Discovery in Parkinson’s research: Lipids influence the formation of protein clumps

After Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s is the most common neurodegenerative disease in the world. More than six million people worldwide suffer from it. In this disease, alpha-synuclein proteins form thread-like structures called fibrils. When these fibrils clump together, they probably damage nerve cells. A research team has now shown for the first

Generation of bright autobioluminescent bacteria by chromosomal integration of the improved lux operon ilux2

Authors Gregor C Journal Scientific Reports Citation Sci Rep. 2022 Nov 9;12(1):19039. Abstract The bacterial bioluminescence system enables the generation of light by living cells without the requirement of an external luciferin. Due to the relatively low light emission, many applications of bioluminescence imaging would benefit from an increase in
