New developmental disorder discovered
Variations in the UNC13A gene cause neurological impairments in children Whether we are writing an email, rushing for a bus, or humming a tune, every thought, feeling, and action relies on communication between our roughly 100 billion nerve cells. This exchange of information happens at synapses, where messenger substances

Early childhood deafness – researchers at Göttingen Campus decipher structure and function of a key hearing protein
Researchers in Göttingen have elucidated the structure and function of otoferlin, a protein that plays a crucial role in the hearing process. If otoferlin is missing or its function is impaired, this causes a common form of early childhood deafness. The results, published in the journal Science Advances, mark a
