Conjointly, individuals from Western European countries exhibit misperceptions relative to water, considering it as an unlimited resource, and therefore as a common good. The former counteracting the urgency to mitigate water ...
Protein turn over at the synapse and the maintenance of robust neuronal communication. KU Leuven
Synaptic contacts are often located very far away from their cell bodies and they are largely independently coping with the unfolded, dysfunctional proteins that form as a result of repeated reuse and cellular stress.
