Importin (IMAGE)
Caption
In genetically engineered mice lacking the protein called importin alpha-5 (right), a molecule called MeCP2 (red), known to affect anxiety behaviors, stayed on the outside the nuclei (blue) of brain neurons, instead of getting inside the nuclei, as it does in regular mice (left). Images obtained with a confocal microscope and displayed using computational reconstruction.
