| Project Description |
Reconstruction of mitochondrial associated adherens complex in the Calyx of Held synapse using electron tomography. The adherens complex is an elaborate cytoskeletal superstructure connecting a subset of mitochondria to the presynaptic membrane near active zones. Note: several additional reconstructions from this project are available from Dr. George Spirou upon request. |
