Glycan-Based Cell Targeting To Modulate Immune Responses. Glycosylation is an integral post-translational modification present in more than half of all eukaryotic proteins. It affects key protein func...
In this video Drs. Samer Hattar and Tiffany Schmidt describe how light detection via the photopigment melanopsin in a conventional type of retinal gar1glion cell, the ON alpha cell, modulates contrast...
Sensory Responses in the Dopamine-Depleted Striatum
Sensory Responses in the Dopamine-Depleted Striatum. Ketzef et al. show that striatal sensory responses are altered in Parkinsonian mice. Specifically, the encoding of bilateral tactile inputs is impa...
Ocean 180 - Fishing in the deep: Observations of a deep-sea anglerfish. This video shows never-before seen footage of a deep-sea angler fish, Chaunacops coloratus. In it, we summarize recent work by s...
Fast Track to the Cell Surface - Live-cell imaging reveals specialized actin-rich endosomal compartments that recycle receptors back to the surface at unprecedented speeds, explain Manoj Puthenveedu a...
Nanoscale-Targeted Presynaptic Ion Channel Patch-Clamp Recordings
Presynaptic ion channels are difficult to study because most of brain synapses are very small (~ 1 micron). In this video abstract, Kirill Volynski, Yuri Korchev, and Pavel Novak describe how to recor...
Metformin and Neurogenesis with Freda Miller. Freda Miller and colleagues from The Hospital for Sick Children Research Institute give a guided tour of their work on metformin and neurogenesis, expandi...
Assembly and budding of a virus from a membrane microdomain
Assembly and Budding of a Virus from a Membrane Microdomain - Viruses have an outer protein shell (called a capsid) that surrounds the viral nucleic acid. Enveloped viruses, such as HIV, have an addit...
