Authors Reshetniak S, Rizzoli SO Journal Current Opinion in Cell Biology Citation Curr Opin Cell Biol. 2021 Mar 8;71:63-68. Abstract For decades, the synaptic vesicle cluster has been thought of as a storage space for synaptic vesicles, whose obvious function is to provide vesicles for the depolarization-induced release of neurotransmitters;

Abstract Mitochondria possess a small genome that codes for core subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation system and whose expression is essential for energy production.

Authors Brás IC, Outeiro TF Journal Cells Citation Cells 2021, 10(2), 375. Abstract The accumulation of misfolded alpha-synuclein (aSyn) throughout the brain, as Lewy pathology, is a phenomenon central to Parkinson’s disease (PD) pathogenesis. The stereotypical distribution and evolution of the pathology during disease is often attributed to the cell-to-cell

Authors Möbius W, Hümmert S, Ruhwedel T, Kuzirian A, Gould R Journal Life Citation Life. 2021; 11(2):136. Abstract Although myelinated nervous systems are shared among 60,000 jawed vertebrates, studies aimed at understanding myelination have focused more and more on mice and zebrafish. To obtain a broader understanding of the myelination
