Neurotransmitter Transporters

Neurotransmitter Transporters-1

Editors Harald H. Sitte and Michael Freissmuth 2006 Neurotransmitter transporters play a pivotal role in synaptic transmission: They function as a reset button and thus define the shape and duration of signal transfer across the synaptic cleft. This statement nowadays appears to be a self-evident truism, but the concept is fairly young: It builds on landmark studies on “reuptake […]

Molecular Chaperones in Health and Disease

Molecular Chaperones in Health and Disease-1

Editor Matthias Gaestel 2006 More than 40 years after Ferruccio Ritossas’s discovery of heat shock-induced formation of puffs in the polytene chromosomes of Drosophila, many different families of heat shock proteins and molecular chaperones have emerged and have been continuously studied in structure and function until today. As a result, it has now become clear that molecular chaperones are […]
