TOWARDS A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF EXTRACELLULAR SCAFFOLDING AT THE SYNAPSE (C.NAPSE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2021,

Synaptic scaffolding molecules control the localization and the abundance of neurotransmitter receptors at the synapse, a key parameter to shape synaptic transfer function. Most characterized synaptic scaffolds are intracellular, yet a growing number of secreted proteins appear to organize the synapse from the outside of the cell. We recently demonstrated in C. elegans that an evolutionarily conse ...
