¿El alcohol actúa igual en todos los cerebros adolescentes? 🧠🍷 Quizá no empieza en el primer trago: las experiencias tempranas pueden dejar huellas en cómo respondemos al estrés y al alcohol. Lo contamos en palabras sencillas aquí 👇🏻✨ hablandodeciencia.com/infancia-cue...
La infancia también cuenta cuando hablamos de alcohol adolescente - Hablando de Ciencia
En España, el alcohol está tan presente en la vida cotidiana que muchas veces cuesta verlo como una droga. Está en celebraciones, comidas, fiestas populares y salidas con amigos. Según las encuestas n...

Descobreixen el nanomissatger que manté les cèl·lules en funcionament
Es tracta d’una petita màquina que lliura paquets moleculars essencials a la superfície cel·lular, una activitat fonamental per mantenir la salut de les cèl·lules. Aquest enigmàtic mecanisme s'ha pogu...

2/🔬 "This nanocourier is one of the largest nanomachines in the cell. But it could not have been studied in detail until today due to its short lifespan and dynamism" says Oriol Gallego - @gallegolab.bsky.social @upf.edu - who has led the research published on @cellpress.bsky.social
3/ 🚚 Everyday in each of our cells the nanocourier named ExHOS -standing for exocyst higher-order structure- delivers between 10,000 –100,000 lipidic vesicles to the cell surface to fulfil cellular processes that require exocytosis
4/ ✅ “The ExHOS features three checkpoints and a mechanism of disassembly that ensures that the delivery of molecular packages continues at the required speed” says Marta Puig-Tintó, co-first author of the study with @sasmeek.bsky.social
5/ This is a study from @gallegolab.bsky.social with @cmanzo.bsky.social @qubilab.bsky.social from @uvic-ucc.cat , Daniel Castaño from Instituto Biofisika & Jonas Ries from @maxperutzlabs.ac.at Don't miss the original paper published on @cellpress.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
Continuum architecture dynamics of vesicle tethering in exocytosis
Data from complementary imaging techniques were integrated into a model that resolves the dynamic exocyst ensemble and membrane architecture during exocytosis, an essential cellular pathway. Sec18 med...
