- Made to order at the synapse: Dynamics of protein synthesis at neuron tip
( University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine ) Protein synthesis in nerve cell dendrites underlies long-term memory formation in the brain, among other functions. Knowing how proteins are made to order at the synapse can help researchers better understand how memories are made. RNA translation is dictated by translational hotspots, where translation is occurring in a ribosome at any one time ...
