Why does autism spectrum disorder lead to heightened sensitivity to light? Dr. Justyna Zmorzynska and her team identified that a specific brain region makes animals with autism more sensitive to light. They also discovered the molecular mechanisms of this overreaction and potential treatments to reduce it. Read the publication here: https://www.cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S2589-0042(24)01374-9

IMol’s stand at the Science Picnic was full of future scientists! Congratulations to all of the children who conducted their first biological experiments with us! We hope to work with you in our labs one day! Many thanks to all the organizers.

How proteins are imported into human mitochondria? Many mitochondrial proteins utilize the TIM23 complex for their translocation. Prof. Agnieszka Chacińska and her team showed high conservation of the human TIM23 translocase when compared to highly studied yeast. Klaudia Maruszczak and Piotr Draczkowski used computational tools to get first architectural insights into protein transport into mitochondria […]
