Excitatory recurrent synapses in the upper pyramidal layer of the prefrontal cortex exhibit delayed short-term facilitation, despite very high vesicular fusion probability, through synaptotagmin 7-dependent overfilling of release sites.
Comprehensive residue-level mapping of amyloid-beta recognition reveals how sequence variants, post-translational modifications, and aggregation state shape antibody specificity, thereby guiding selection and development of therapeutic antibodies in Alzheimer’s disease.
Three newly developed biosensors demonstrate that the C-terminal tail of α-tubulin does not freely extend from the microtubule surface as widely thought, but rather is inaccessible along most microtubules in cells.
