Everything you always wanted to know about the Axon Initial Segment might be here: cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…

The dynamic axon initial segment: From neuronal polarity to network homeostasis

The review by Freal and Hoogenraad discusses exciting insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying axon initial segment dynamics. They highlight the importance of these mechanisms in maintaining...

It was not easy to draw a full picture (sincere apologies if your work is not included), but it is exciting to see how much our field grew and progressed in the last decade; exciting times ahead for AIS aficionados and neuronal cell biologists!

Incredibly happy to share that @NWOFunding has funded our #VIDI project 🥳 We will unravel the mechanisms controlling the composition of the axon initial segment and how this participates in keeping neuronal network activity in balance! @AmsNeuroscience @amsterdamumc @FGA_lab

There's an epidemic of loneliness in science: Most Scientists move around & usually end up living far from friends they made in their youth. When they settle in a permanent place they're older & have busy lives/careers. All this means many scientists don't have a lot of friends.

This is a really straightforward time saver for anyone wanting to run a protein gel for fluorescently-tagged proteins. Thanks to Seb Leon and Mathieu Sanial @IJMonod for figuring this out and writing it up for all of us!!!
Institut Jacques Monod@IJMonod3 Jun 2024
⁉️Did you know that fluorescent proteins (GFP, mCherry) retain their fluorescence even after migration in SDS-PAGE gels? ✍️Researchers from the @IJMonod published a new collaborative study regarding the conditions to detect fluorescence directly in gels. ➡️urlz.fr/qT42
