TOKYO UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE IMAGE: SCIENTISTS REVEAL KEY REGULATORY PROCESSES UNDERLYING THE MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF ENDOCYTOSIS CREDIT: SCIENTIFIC ANIMATION A cell needs to constantly interact with its surrounding environment in a variety of ways to execute a plethora of biological functions. One such way is the uptake of extracellular materials, also known as endocytosis. In...
PICOWER INSTITUTE AT MIT IMAGE: ASTROCYTES DERIVED FROM INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS WERE CENTRAL TO THE STUDY. In a new study, a team of scientists based at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT and the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research reveals evidence showing that the most prominent Alzheimer’s disease risk gene may disrupt a...
