The functioning of the brain relies on the establishment of very precise connections between neurons: synapses. A recent ...

The hormone, which is well known for regulating appetite, appears to influence neuronal development—a finding that could shed light on disorders such as autism that involve dysfunctional synapse ...

When a B cell encounters membrane-bound antigen, signalling through the B-cell receptor (BCR) induces cytoskeletal reorganization and morphological changes that lead to the formation of an ...

The laboratory of Ege Kavalali, professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacology, published a paper in Nature ...

A comprehensive Thought Leaders Invited Review in Brain Medicine highlights the crucial role of CD2-associated protein (CD2AP ...

A study from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz found that fruit flies raised at lower temperatures develop more neural ...

Current research in our lab focuses on understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms that control neural circuit formation and plasticity. We are interested in identifying and elucidating ...

Boost has developed a proprietary human iPSC platform and cutting-edge experimental technologies to interrogate human synapse and neuronal network formation and function. The company’s mission ...

When growth cones reach their synaptic targets, they must both send and receive signals in order to promote formation of mature synapses. We know little about the identity of such signals ...
