A new chapter has begun for two of the world’s most popular preprint platforms, bioRxiv and medRxiv, with the launch of a non-profit organization that will manage them

Preprint sites bioRxiv and medRxiv launch new era of independence
The popular repositories, where scientists post research before peer review, will be managed by a new organization called openRxiv.

Challenging the Axon’s Classic Shape
Forget the traditional tubular shape—researchers are investigating a pearl-on-a-string formation for axons, unlocking new insights into neural signaling in health and disease.

Excited to share our new preprint "Dynamic nanoscale architecture of synaptic vesicle fusion in mouse hippocampal neurons" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We combine optogenetic stimulation of neurons with in situ cryo-ET to characterize membrane dynamics during synaptic vesicle fusion ❄️🔬⏱️

New preprint from the MemTraS team ! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Great collaboration with @fronzeslab.bsky.social and Vladan Lucic to determine the first cryo electron tomography images of dopamine "synapses" extracted from adult mouse brain.

This study was key to establishing #cryoCLEM and #cryoET in Bordeaux.

It is an important milestone.

@davidp-bdx.bsky.social,
Étienne Herzog and @paulosh.bsky.social took the risk to be the first to use this approach with us.
🙏🙏🙏

Very happy to share our last preprint where we investigated the vesicular organization of dopamine hub synapses with cryo-CLEM. It is a brain structure that emerges as an important regulator of striatal activity. Many thanks to David Perrais, Etienne Herzog and the lab of @fronzeslab.bsky.social !
