How do you maintain a cellular structure without a membrane? Researchers find that synapses can use liquids to create functional separations
Researchers from the School of Medicine Basic Sciences found that, although synapses are not bound by a membrane, they are still able to maintain a nanostructure necessary for evoked neurotransmission with the help of a physicochemical phenomenon called liquid-liquid phase separation.
