Our first paper on Arc capsid assembly is online now! https://t.co/JWmkaspSgf Good job team. Thanks to all our collaborators and also MCB for reporting the work: https://t.co/wbB6G4c0GJ

A team of researchers including @ZhangLab1 combined techniques in biochemistry, cell biology, and live cell imaging to determine the trafficking pathway used by Arc protein to communicate with other cells.
