Very happy to share our new paper in #ScienceSignaling revealing that importin β1 isn’t just important for nuclear transport or neuronal growth.

We now show it is key for presynaptic plasticity in the hippocampus, local translation, and memory!

Subcellular depletion of importin β1 impairs presynaptic local translation and spatial memory
Axonal localization of importin β1 is required for presynaptic functions that support spatial memory tasks.

Generally, I am thinking a lot about my friends and colleagues at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Now, I am doing it sadly because I am scared for their safety. (1/3)

Loss of intracellular ATP affects axoplasmic viscosity and pathological protein aggregation in mammalian neurons
The protective role of ATP in neurons reduces protein aggregation and neurodegeneration.

I am very lucky to be surrounded with a team of talented researchers and to have many collaborators that are passionate and committed . We are a beautiful comunity. Since Science is a Marathon It is better to choose a nice company to run with.
