The actin-modulating protein Synaptopodin mediates long-term survival of dendritic spines

Kenrick An Fu Yap, Alexander Drakew, Dinko Smilović, Michael Rietsche, Mandy H. Paul, Mario Vukšić, Domenico Del Turco, Thomas Deller

This study shows that Synaptopodin stabilizes dendritic spines over long-term by preventing their pruning, as demonstrated through time-lapse imaging in mouse organotypic cultures.

Characterization of neuronal synaptopodin reveals a myosin V-dependent mechanism of synaptopodin clustering at the post-synaptic sites

Judit González-Gallego, Anja Konietzny, Alberto Pérez‐Alvarez, Joshua La Baer, Urban Maier, Alexander Drakew, John A. Hammer, Jeroen Demmers, Dick H. W. Dekkers, Michael Frotscher, Matthias Kneussel, Thomas G. Oertner, Wolfgang Wagner, Marina Mikhaylova

This study identifies myosin V as essential for synaptopodin clustering at post-synaptic sites, showing that the spine apparatus is assembled locally rather than transported.

Single synapses control mossy cell firing

Alexander Drakew, Urban Maier, Anja Tippmann, Michael Frotscher

The paper investigates how individual mossy fibre synapses influence mossy cell firing in mice, showing synaptic strength variability and plasticity-dependent modulation of network activity.
