Authors Outeiro TF, Höglinger G, Lang AE, Vieira TCRG Journal Journal of Neural Transmission Citation J Neural Transm (Vienna). 2025 Feb 11. Abstract Protein misfolding and aggregation is a major pathological hallmark in a variety of human conditions, including cancer, diabetes, and neurodegeneration. However, we still do not fully understand

Authors Tovtik R, Marzin D, Weigel P, Crespi S, Simeth NA Journal Beilstein Archives Citation Beilstein Arch. 2025, 20257. Abstract Phenyl azopyrazole photoswitches proved to be valuable structural motifs for various applications ranging from materials science to medicine. Despite their potential, their structural diversity is still limited and a larger

Abstract The correct sorting of nascent ribosomal proteins from the cytoplasm to the nucleus or to

Authors Basak S, Tsukanov R Journal Methods in Microscopy Citation Methods in Microscopy, 2025. Abstract In this review paper, we summarize the significant advancements in the field of fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), particularly wide-field FLIM with single-molecule sensitivity, achieved using the time-correlated single-photon counting-based position-sensitive LINCam system. Fluorescence lifetime

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
