Local synthesis of CaMKII: Where, how and why?

June 13, 2023 | 16:00 | BCCN Lecture Hall Philippstraße 13 Haus 6, 10115 Berlin + ZOOM Meeting-ID: 775 491 0236

Brain function relies on the ability of neurons to build and modulate specialized structures for sending and receiving information at sites far from the soma. The molecular mechanisms underlying this cell biological feat are incompletely understood, but one important component is the ability of neurons to translate specific mRNAs at synaptic sites. Locally synthesized protein is critical for plasticity in the mature nervous system and is a well-established requirement for long-term memory. Across phyla, activity patterns that drive long-term plasticity cause increased synthesis and synaptic accumulation of CaMKII.

May 25, 2023 I European Parliament (ENVI)

The European Citizen's Initiative (ECI) Hearing was held at the European Parliament's ENVI committee, and focussed on the ECI's call for a cosmetics animal testing ban, for transforming EU chemicals regulations, and for modernising science in the EU.

In advance of the hearing:

May 23, 2023 | DFG Press Release No. 17

The 3Rs (Replace, Reduce, Refine) are the guiding principle of state-of-the-art life science research – Complementarity of research methods is indispensable for scientific progress – A hasty exit from using animals in research puts human and animal well-being at risk.
