Synapses are specialized, protein-rich cell junctions that are essential for normal brain function and are dysfunctional in many diseases and disorders of the nervous system. Synapses are made up of many different proteins that link neurons together and regulate communication between these cells.   At early stages of differentiation neurons already contain many of the components necessary for synaptic transmission.  At the presynaptic level, synaptic vesicles … Continue reading Study identifies elusive master regulator of synaptic protein sorting.
