Happy about our new paper in Nature rdcu.be/eukUB The GluA3 structure provides a framework for understanding this disease-prone glutamate receptor - novel interfaces will provide targets for modulator development

New research from @igreger.bsky.social group in the LMB’s Neurobiology Division, show that GluA3 adopts a structural organization that substantially diverges from all the other AMPA receptors. Read more: www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/architecture... #LMBResearch

We have an RA opening, for folks interested in molecular neurobiology: www.eurosciencejobs.com/job_display/...

🧪 The Sjöström Lab in Montreal is looking for a postdoc! We study cortical circuits, synaptic plasticity, and NMDAR signalling using custom 2-photon microscopy and optogenetics. We seek candidates with strong patch-clamp and/or 2-photon imaging expertise, and a relevant publication track record.

Join us at 11am (BST) on Monday 7th April for an #LMBSeminar from Rod MacKinnon of Rockefeller University. He will be discussing ‘Higher order transient structures and the principles of dynamic connectivity in membrane signaling.’ More details: www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/news-and-eve...

Recording synaptic minis (mEPSCs)? We have a new paper trying to better understand how recorded datasets match synaptic changes. In short, they don't.. More info below, and the preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.10.26.620084v1

Huping Wang and Manu Hegde, in @cellbiol-mrclmb.bsky.social have found a factor that accelerates protein deliveries to the endoplasmic reticulum Click here to read more about it: www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/discovery-of... #LMBResearch

Considering a PhD in molecular biology? There’s still time to apply to join the LMB in October 2024. Applications close on 3rd DEC. Visit our website for more info: www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/students/int...

Happy CaMKII days in China, with Roger and Howard Schulman
