Long-lasting forms of synaptic plasticity such as synaptic scaling are critically dependent on
transcription. Activity-dependent transcriptional dynamics in neurons, however, remain …

Glutamate uptake into synaptic vesicles in nerve terminals is a pivotal step in glutamate
synaptic transmission. Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter and, as such, the …

All-trans retinoic acid induces functional and structural plasticity of synapses in human
cortical circuits through the engagement of the spine apparatus.

Various studies have attempted to estimate the effective population size of HIV-1 to determine
the strength of stochastic effects in within-host evolution. The largely discrepant estimates, …

To assess the impact of screening programmes in reducing the prevalence of Chlamydia
