A dynamical systems approach to synaptic consolidation and associations of concepts in hippocampus

In the present work, we approach two key aspects of memory formation: associative memory and synaptic consolidation. The storage of associative memory is commonly related to the medial temporal lobe in humans. Experimental evidence shows that the memories ...

Ethynylation of Cysteine Residues: From Peptides to Proteins in Vitro and in Living Cells

Jérôme Waser, Romain Gaëtan Tessier, Javier De Ceballos Cerrajeria, Raj Kumar Nandi

Current approaches to introduce terminal alkynes for bioorthogonal reactions into biomolecules still present limitations in terms of either reactivity, selectivity, or adduct stability. We present a method for the ethynylation of cysteine residues based on ...

A general strategy to develop cell permeable and fluorogenic probes for multicolour nanoscopy

Kai Johnsson, Lu Wang, Lin Xue

It is difficult to develop suitable fluorescent probes for live-cell nanoscopy, but a general strategy is now reported that can transform regular fluorophores into fluorogenic probes with excellent cell permeability and low unspecific background signals. U ...

Structural mechanism of cGAS inhibition by the nucleosome

Beat Fierz, Andrea Ablasser, Rudolf Hovius, Simone Cavadini, Kristina Makasheva, Baptiste Claude André Guey, Alexiane Clara Decout, Sélène-Véronique Glück, Pauline Ambre Melenec

The DNA sensor cGAS initiates innate immune responses following microbial infection, cellular stress, and cancer1. Upon activation by double-stranded DNA, cytosolic cGAS produces 2’3’ cyclic GMP-AMP and triggers inflammatory cytokine and type I interferon ...
