Study sheds new light on the physiological roles of protein quality control at the ribosome

Scientists at the Center for Molecular Medicine Cologne (CMMC) and the CECAD Cluster of Excellence on Aging Research have demonstrated in a biomedical study that ribosomes, the protein factories of our cells, face an unusually tough challenge when building large, membrane‑embedded proteins.

New 3D imaging system captures seizures in real time

A seizure is a sudden, overwhelming wave of electrical energy passing through the brain in a matter of seconds - so fast, in fact, that it's been nearly impossible to fully capture where these electrical bursts originate, how they move and where they stop.

Early-life stress rewires brain epigenetics to heighten sensitivity to future stress

. Early-life stress increased SETD7 and H3K4me1 in the ventral tegmental area of mice, creating an epigenetically primed state that heightened later transcriptional, neuronal, and behavioral responses to stress. Reducing Setd7 during development lowered H3K4me1 and weakened these stress-sensitizing effects, identifying a mechanism that may help explain how early adversity leaves lasting biological effects.
