Watching a Synapse Grow Noninvasive Confocal Imaging of Synaptic Growth in Drosophila
The glutamatergic neuromuscular junction (NMJ) in Drosophila adds new boutons and branches during larval development. We generated transgenic fruit flies that express a novel green fluorescent membrane protein at the postsynaptic specialization, allowing for repeated noninvasive confocal imaging of synapses in live, developing larvae. As synapses grow, existing synaptic boutons stretch apart an...
متن کاملHow to Grow a Synapse
Activity-dependent alterations in the strength of an individual glutamatergic synapse are often accompanied by changes in the size and shape of the postsynaptic terminal. Two studies in this issue of Neuron, Meyer et al. (2014) and Bosch et al. (2014), shed new light on the mechanisms and signaling pathways underlying structural long-term potentiation.
متن کاملWatching single nanoparticles grow in real time through supercontinuum spectroscopy.
A fast dark-field scattering technique capturing full broadband spectra with millisecond time-resolution enables us to monitor the growth or assembly of single nano-objects in situ and in real time. Applying this technique to study the growth of single gold nanorods, together with scanning electron microscopy and finite-difference time-domain simulations, reveals precise quantitative informatio...
متن کاملWatching the Daisies Grow: from Biology to Biomathematics and Bioinformatics — Alan Turing Centenary Special Issue
Preface We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done. Year 2012 is both the centenary of Alan Turing's birth and the 60th anniversary of the famous paper The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis, in which he established foundations of the mathematical theory of biological and chemical pattern formation. The story started much earlier, in spring 1923, as d...
متن کاملWatching polymers grow: real time monitoring of polymerizations via an on-line ESI-MS/microreactor coupling.
A technique for the continuous on-line monitoring of polymerization processes by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is presented via coupling with a commercial microreactor system. The potential is demonstrated by monitoring polymerizations in real time under synthesis conditions. Furthermore, a single acrylate monomer insertion into a oligo-RAFT agent, as used in the synthesis ...
