22 Apr 2020: Hearing and touch depend on the ability of sensory neurons to be activated by a force, such as pressure or vibration from sound, and then pass information on to the brain. William Schafer’s group has identified some of the key proteins that make

4 Dec 2020: This reveals a new mechanism of immune synergy between antibodies and T cells, which are often thought to work quite separately. ... Therefore, this work provides multiple new concepts that could be exploited in the development of treatments for and

20 Oct 2020: Compare this maps with the original. You should find that the new (smooth) map is easier to understand. ... use the Display Manager to delete the first (mrc) map. Change the contour Step for the new Maps:.

17 Jun 2020: Understanding minute structural differences in (G protein-coupled receptor) GPCR complexes could lead to the design of more efficacious drugs that have fewer side effects

24 Nov 2020: Rebecca Taylor’s group has identified a signalling molecule that connects detection of a stressful environment by the nervous system with molecular defence mechanisms in other tissues and leads to changes in feeding behaviour and reproduction.

23 Jul 2020: Producing maps of how neurons connect with each other (connectomes) allows scientists to build and test theories of brain function. Greg Jefferis’ group have presented the first full map of olfactory, thermosensory, and hygrosensory projection

28 Aug 2020: The brain contains an enormous number of connections, known as synapses. Their loss is associated with many disorders. Radu Aricescu’s group and collaborators in Japan and Germany have designed a molecule that restores synapses in animal disease

23 Oct 2020: I have also started working on a new project with Radu Aricescu and Jan Löwe to test new vaccine candidates. ... chip model to understand the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis and develop new drug treatments.

23 Jan 2020: The neuronal gene Arc plays important roles in neural plasticity, learning and memory-related molecular processes and has been shown to mediate intercellular RNA transfer by forming viral-like capsids. John Briggs’ group has now solved the first
