Stop sigh: “Speed bumps” for mitoribosomes: Mitoribosomes (white, with black outlines) do not produce mitochondrial membrane proteins at a constant rate. Instead, they slow down at specific points — molecular “speed bumps” — that help coordinate protein production, folding, and insertion into the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Ein neuartiger Alpha-Synuclein-PET-Tracer [11C]MODAG-005 macht pathologische Proteinablagerungen im menschlichen Gehirn sichtbar. Das Bild im Split-Screen-Verfahren stellt die anatomische Hirnstruktur (links) der molekularen Pathologie (rechts) gegenüber und verdeutlicht die selektive Tracer-Anreicherung in zwei Hirnregionen (Caudatus und Putamen) eines Patienten mit Multisystematrophie.
