New findings show that #pancreatictumors form nerve-like “pseudosynapses” where #neurotransmitter #glutamate binds to receptors, triggering calcium waves. The findings reveal a link between neural communication processes and #tumor progression: http://go.tum.de/285549

How do you think? People can experience thoughts, feelings, and sensory inputs very differently. While context and substances are known to promote changes in perception and thinking, the biological basis is very diverse, contrary to what is often assumed. Brain cells come in extraordinary varieties in size, shape, and complexity. Their synaptic connectivity provides the foundation of all our sensory input, motor output, cognitive functions, and thoughts. In short: They shape us. This talk gives an introduction about the extent of variability in neuronal patterns that underlies neurodiversity and critically discusses the idea of neurodivergence, diagnosis criteria in Autism and ADHD from a biological and first person-perspective. We find that biological variability of brains is an evolutionary feature that helps us to adapt to our environment but comes with certain risks and downsides in our modern society. While many things are still unknown, scientists have identified genes and environmental impacts that shape our network architecture during brain development and which help to explain why we think and experience the world so differently.
"We characterized the interaction of SNAP-25-derived peptides with Hsc70 and CSPα using a combination of biochemical and biophysical techniques, including native-PAGE, binding affinity by fluorescence anisotropy, ATPase-activity of Hsc70, and NMR. We have identified an Hsc70 binding site within SNAP-25 that is likely to represent the site used in the cell to facilitate SNARE complex formation."
