Highlights

We liked the idea of having an open 'conversation' with the reviewers during the process, and having the chance to polish the manuscript by following the editors and reviewers’ recommendations without the threat of rejection.

    Nociceptor neurons control pollution-mediated neutrophilic asthma

    Jo-Chiao Wang, Amelia Kulle ... Sebastien Talbot
    Air pollution activates macrophage-derived artemin, sensitizing TRPA1 nociceptors to drive neutrophilic asthma, revealing new therapeutic targets for refractory airway inflammation.

    Psilocin fosters neuroplasticity in iPSC-derived human cortical neurons

    Malin Schmidt, Anne Hoffrichter ... Philipp Koch
    Psilocin induces a durable neuroplastic state in human cortical neurons by enhancing BDNF signaling, neurite complexity, synaptogenesis, and synaptic network activity through 5-HT2A receptor-dependent mechanisms.

    Death receptor 6 does not regulate axon degeneration and Schwann cell injury responses during Wallerian degeneration

    Bogdan Beirowski, Haoran Huang, Elisabetta Babetto
    Rigorous analysis in two knockout mouse lines demonstrates that death receptor 6 is not required for axon degeneration or Schwann cell injury responses following peripheral nerve transection.
