Protein pairs make cells remember
Even single cells are able to remember information if they receive the order from their proteins. Researchers at the University of Basel’s Biozentrum have discovered that proteins form pairs to give the signal for storing information in the cell’s memory. The results of the study have now been published in “Cell Reports”.
This research was supported by the SystemsX.ch RTD Project StoNets.

Ein beinahe magischer Blick ins Gehirn
Synapsen und ihre molekularbiologischen Details sind eigentlich zu klein für eine Untersuchung mit dem Lichtmikroskop. Forschende der Uni Freiburg haben nun aber eine Methode angewendet, dank der man trotzdem einzelne Proteine bei den Verbindungen der Nervenzellen „sehen“ kann. Das eröffnet neue Möglichkeiten bei der Untersuchung von Lern- und Erinnerungsvorgängen.
Diese Forschungsarbeit wurde von SystemsX.ch unterstützt (RTD-Projekt SynaptiX)
