Ultrastructure of astrocytes using volume electron microscopy: A scoping review
Abstract figure legend A complete overview on astrocyte ultrastructure with volume electron microscopy. The morphology of astrocytes under physiological and pathological conditions plays a role in brain homeostasis, synaptic activity and structural support, but their morphological complexity and heterogeneity are still poorly quantified.

Optimal neuromuscular performance requires motor neuron phosphagen kinases
Abstract figure legend Motor neuron (MN) terminals in fruit flies, mice and humans contain phosphagen kinases, a key enzyme in their energy storage and buffering system. Here we knocked down the primary phosphagen kinase in fruit fly larvae (arginine kinase 1 (ArgK1)) but were surprised to find that MN endurance was unaffected.

Clathrins Are Involved in the Endocytosis of Host Cytosol in the Malaria Parasite
This study characterized clathrin function in hemoglobin uptake from host red blood cells via the malaria parasite's specific endocytosis machinery, cytostome. Clathrin heavy chain, clathrin light chain, and AP‐1 γ subunit were found associated with certain proteins known to be involved in cytostome function, and they were localized at the collars of ...
