In the bustling city of the cell, proteins are the tireless workers. They build structures, carry messages, and catalyze the chemical reactions essential for life. But a protein's job isn't static. Its function, location, and even its lifespan are tightly controlled by a series of modifications. Among the most versatile and critical of these is Protein Ubiquitination, a process that acts like a ...
In the intricate world of cellular biology, proteins are the undisputed workhorses. They are assembled based on a genetic blueprint, but their story doesn't end there. After synthesis, proteins undergo a vast array of chemical modifications known as post-translational modifications (PTMs). These changes act as molecular switches, fine-tuning a protein's function, localization, and stability. ...
Optogenetics has emerged as a transformative tool in the field of neuroscience, allowing researchers to manipulate neuronal activity with unprecedented precision. At the heart of this technology lies the use of adeno-associated viruses (AAVs), which serve as robust delivery vehicles for light-sensitive proteins into targeted neuronal populations. This article delves into the significance of ...
Human astrocytes-cerebellar (HA-c) represent a significant advancement in the field of neurobiology, particularly in understanding cerebral development, functionality, and pathology. Astrocytes, the star-shaped glial cells in the brain, play crucial roles in maintaining homeostasis, supporting neuronal function, and responding to injury. The cerebellum, responsible for motor control and cognitive ...
In the realm of drug discovery, the search for innovative therapies often leads to new paradigms. One such paradigm that has gained significant traction in recent years is the development of PROTAC (Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras) technology. This groundbreaking approach unlocks new potential in targeting previously “undruggable” proteins, paving the way for transformative therapies ...
