Authors Revah O, Wolf F, Gutnick MJ, Neef A Journal Biorxiv Citation bioRxiv 2024.02.15.580451. Abstract Cortical function reflects the activities of populations of neurons. How accurately they can encode information depends on the speed with which each neuron can respond to input, as revealed by dynamic gain analysis. Theory predicts

Authors Meissner-Bernard C, Jenkins B, Rupprecht P, Bouldoires EA, Zenke F, Friedrich RW, Frank T Journal Cell Reports Citation Cell Reports 44, 115330, March 25, 2025. Abstract Models of balanced autoassociative memory networks predict that specific inhibition is critical to store information in connectivity. To explore these predictions, we characterized

Authors Eskandari MA, Fischer J, Veyret N, Marx D, Betz T Journal Arxiv Citation arXiv:2501.14538. Abstract While mechanobiology has demonstrated that precise control over mechanical properties at the whole-cell level is crucial for many biological functions, comparatively little attention has been paid to the intracellular mechanical properties. Experimental tools have

Authors Stoldt S, Maass F, Weber M, Dennerlein S, Ilgen P, Gaertner J, Canfes A, Schweighofer SV, Jans DC, Rehling P, Jakobs S Journal BioRxiv Citation bioRxiv 2025.01.23.634455. Abstract Mitochondria contain their own DNA (mtDNA) and a dedicated gene expression machinery. As the mitochondrial dimensions are close to the diffraction

Authors Cotroneo ER, Cheng TC, Kaltschnee L, Maibach P, Engelke M, Schwegler N, Thomas F, Thiele CM, Simeth N Journal ChemRxiv Citation ChemRxiv. 2025. Abstract Peptides and proteins, that have the tendency to form aggregates, are often discussed in the context of Alz-heimer’s, Huntington’s, or Parkinson’s disease. However, studying aggregation

Authors Maestro-Lopez M, Cheng TC, Muntaner J, Menendez M, Alonso M, Schweitzer A, Cuellar J, Valpuesta JM, Sakata E Journal BioRxiv Citation bioRxiv 2025.01.22.633148. Abstract The 26S proteasome primarily degrades proteins marked by polyubiquitin chains. Although ubiquitin-independent pathways for proteasomal degradation exist, the mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. Bag1 links
