🔬📢🧫Check out our new preprint about membrane tension propagation in neuronal axons. Here we use two-trap membrane nanorheology to measure the spatiotemporal distribution of membrane tension gradients. @ICFOnians @NMSBlab @MayteBQ @neusanfeliu

Forces applied to cellular membranes lead to transient membrane tension gradients. The manner in which membrane tension propagates away from the stimulus into the membrane reservoir has emerged as a...

My paper is now out in the world - I can't believe it! If you want to read the preview it is up on bioRxiv: Membrane mechanics dictate axonal morphology and function
biorxiv.org
Axons are thought to be ultrathin membrane cables of a relatively uniform diameter, designed to conduct electrical signals, or action potentials. Here, we demonstrate that unmyelinated axons are not...

Our preprint is out! In this work with @RangamaniUCSD, we investigate how mechanical properties of dendritic spines change upon LTP

Synaptic plasticity is important for learning and memory formation and describes the strengthening or weakening of connections between synapses. The postsynaptic part of excitatory synapses resides...

Have you ever wondered: Can biophysical models give insight into the synaptic changes associated with addiction? @RangamaniUCSD and I did, check out our review

Effective treatments that prevent or reduce drug relapse vulnerability should be developed to relieve the high burden of drug addiction to society. This will only be possible by enhancing the...
