Multivalent interactions: Old concept, new tricks Dr Stefano Angioletti Uberti, Senior Lecturer at Imperial College London Arguably,multivalency has been used since the 1970s as a mechanism to increase the binding strength while using weak ligand-receptor pairs. While this (somewhat naive) view as a general approach to increase binding strength must be taken with a pinch ... Read more

Mind the Gap: Super-Resolution Imaging of the Extracellular Space of the Brain   Valentin Nägerl, Institut für Anatomie und Zellbiologie, Universitätsmedizin Göttingen Georg-August-Universität   Progress in microscopy has a long history of triggering major advances in neuroscience. STED microscopy, famous for shattering the diffraction barrier of light microscopy, is a case in point. It gives ... Read more
