Using cryo-electron tomography, the team was able to visualize synaptic vesicles (SVs) in 3D and confirm a potentially important protein-protein interaction. They also broadened our understanding ...
(3) This causes synaptic vesicles to fuse with the terminal membrane, releasing neurotransmitter into the gap between neurons, known as the synaptic cleft. (4) The neurotransmitters bind to ...
Developing a FRET sensor for synaptic vesicle zinc. Currently Funded by the CU Signaling and Cellular Regulation Training Program. I love working with neurons and understanding their basic mechanisms.
This was due to the pausing of the synaptic vesicles responsible for transmitting neural signals in their cells. Once the light source was turned off, the nematodes recovered their movement as if ...
