Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB)

Authors Wrobel C, Zafeiriou MP, Moser T Journal EBioMedicine Citation EBioMedicine. 2021 Jan 7;63:103171. Abstract Sensorineural hearing impairment is the most frequent form of hearing impairment affecting 1–2 in 1000 newborns and another 1 in 1000 adolescents. More than 50% of congenital hearing impairment is of genetic origin and some

Authors Outeiro TF Journal Molecular Neurobiology Citation Mol Neurobiol. 2021 Jan 7. Abstract In protein aggregation disorders, we assume that, during the process of protein aggregation, different types of aggregated species (oligomers, protofibrils, fibrils, etc.) are formed, some of which can be toxic to cells/tissues/organs. Recent evidence from numerous studies

Abstract Mitoribosomes catalyze essential protein synthesis within mitochondria. Mitoribosome biogenesis is assisted by an increasing number of assembly factors, among which guanosine triphosphate hydrolases (GTPases) are the most abundant

Abstract Conventional intracellular microelectrode techniques to quantify cardiomyocyte electrophysiology are extremely complex, labor intensive, and typically carried out in low throughput. Rapid and ongoing expansion of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)

Authors Özcete Ö, Moser T Journal EMBO Journal Citation EMBO J (2020)e106010. Abstract The cochlea encodes sound pressures varying over six orders of magnitude by collective operation of functionally diverse spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). The mechanisms enabling this functional diversity remain elusive. Here, we asked whether the sound intensity information,
