How protons tune AMPA receptor-mediated information processing at neuronal synapses
Ingo Greger’s group, in the LMB’s Neurobiology Division, find that low pH causes protonation of histidine 208 embedded within GluA2 NTDs – a mechanism which has potential to tune strength of synaptic transmission and plasticity, key to learning and memory.
Stimulating children’s scientific curiosity through microscopy
Over 600 pupils from 18 schools across Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and Bedford participated in the 2024 Microscopes4Schools Competition with some impressive entries.
Adam Fowle appointed Head of Mechanical Workshop
The LMB is delighted to announce that Adam Fowle was recently appointed as the new Head of the Mechanical Workshop.
Key role for Leukaemia inhibitory factor in systemic immunity
Led by Mayuri Gogoi, Andrew McKenzie’s group in the LMB’s PNAC Division have determined that the cytokine LIF production by type-2 innate lymphoid cells dictates the movement of immune cells from the site of lung infection or chronic allergic reaction, thereby regulating tissue localised versus systemic immunity.
Cryo-EM grids developed by Katerina Naydenova and Chris Russo win at the 2024 Microscopy Today Innovation Awards
The gold HexAuFoil® grids, developed by Katerina Naydenova and Chris Russo in the LMB’s Structural Studies Division, eliminate specimen movement during cryo-EM imaging and can be produced to meet the huge global demand. The HexAuFoil® grids, which were licensed to Quantifoil Micro Tools GmbH, are one of ten winners at the 2024 Microscopy Today Innovation […]
