A massive thank you to the EMBO team for allowing us to publish this story and making the cover. Fat-tagging (myristoylation) at the synapse is critical for synaptic plasticity:) Congrats to all involved n the @meunierlab.bsky.social
Review in issue 15:
Midbrain organoid models of dopaminergic system
WIP1 affects the mitotic timer

Excited for our latest work! We developed nanobinders for the luminal domain of Synaptotagmin 1 (calcium sensor for synaptic vesicles). Thanks among others to @verstrekenlab.bsky.social @opazo.bsky.social @meunierlab.bsky.social @volkerhaucke-lab.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Nanobinders for Synaptotagmin 1 enable the analysis of synaptic vesicle dynamics in rodent and human models.
Synaptic neurotransmission is a critical hallmark of brain activity and one of the first processes to be affected in neural diseases. Monitoring this process, and in particular synaptic vesicle recycl...

Today's lectures were given by @meunierlab.bsky.social and Victor Anggono on probing synaptic with super resolution microscopy, and the molecular structure of learning and memory. In the afternoon the students will have a go at super resolution, and TIRF microscopy.

#caveolae of the #zebrafish notochord. Whenever you come across them, you simply have to take an exposure. We haven't read up on them for a while, but we wonder whether their role here (apart from the mechanical) has been further worked out in the meantime -if there is one. doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...
