Synaptic plasticity processes, which underlie learning and memory formation, require RNA to be translated local to synapses. The synaptic tagging hypothesis has previously been proposed to explain how mRNAs are available at specific activated synapse...

Journal Article
Samperi, M., Bdiri, B., Sleet, C. D., Markus, R., Mallia, A. R., Pérez-García, L., & Amabilino, D. B. (2021). Light-controlled micron-scale molecular motion. Nature Chemistry, 13(12), 1200-1206. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41557-021-00791-2

The micron-scale movement of biomolecules along supramolecular pathways, mastered by nature, is a remarkable system requiring strong yet reversible interactions between components under the action of a suitable stimulus. Responsive microscopic system... Read More about Light-controlled micron-scale molecular motion.
