Mechanics of axonal force generation in embryonic Drosophila neurons in vivo
… in vivo. These experiments have revealed that vesicle clustering in the presynaptic terminal of the neuromuscular junction in Drosophila embryos is dependent on mechanical tension in the axons. Vesicle clustering disappears with loss of mechanical tension and is regained upon restoration of …

Neurons under tension: A study of vesicle dynamics
… and present my Ph.D. research on the dynamics of vesicles in neurons under tension. To understand the role of mechanics in neuron function, we must take a closer look at the underlying subcellular dynamics. The basic goal of this research is to explore the currently unknown relationship between …

The functional and pathological pathways of α-Synuclein
… the overall affinity of αS to synaptic-like vesicles (SL-SUV) by reducing the local membrane affinity in the region 65-97. This in return enhances vesicle-vesicle interactions via a previously reported double-anchor mechanism, which has important implication on synaptic vesicle clustering …

Structural Properties of α-Synuclein in Functional and Pathological Contexts
… that govern the binding of αS to synaptic vesicles (Chapter III). In particular, three regions of αS were shown to possess distinct structural and dynamical properties at the surface of synaptic vesicles, including an N-terminal helical segment having a role of membrane anchor, an …
