MCU expression in hippocampal CA2 neurons modulates dendritic mitochondrial morphology and synaptic plasticity
Scientific Reports - MCU expression in hippocampal CA2 neurons modulates dendritic mitochondrial morphology and synaptic plasticity
rdcu.be
Hot off the press, we have a new paper out showing that expression of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) in hippocampal CA2 neurons modulates dendritic mitochondrial morphology and synaptic plasticity.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Given the rapidly evolving political landscape in the United States and reports of individuals encountering difficulties crossing the border, CAUT strongly recommends that academic staff travel to the U.S. only if essential and necessary.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

The thing about scientific research is that it’s one of the few national investments that’s a clear public good even if you entirely discount the actual ostensible point of it.
New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024.
That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved.
Show me a better investment than that.

NIH fosters breakthroughs that profoundly affect how diseases are understood, prevented, and treated. These discoveries enhance health and longevity in the US and the world. NIH is a cornerstone of innovation so it is bizarre that it is under attack
