This is really an amazing tool for neuroscientists🤩! Finally something actually working for human neurons🧠. Happy that I could contribute. Congratulations @forna.bsky.social!
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...
