    In vivo mapping of striatal neurodegeneration in Huntington’s disease with Soma and Neurite Density Imaging

    Vasileios Ioakeimidis, Marco Palombo ... Claudia Metzler-Baddeley
    Novel SANDI diffusion modelling reveals Huntington’s disease-related striatal abnormalities in proxy soma measures, explaining atrophy and motor impairment, and supporting SANDI indices as in vivo biomarkers of human neurodegenerative processes.

    Divergent C. elegans toxin alleles are suppressed by distinct mechanisms

    Stefan Zdraljevic, Laura Walter-McNeill ... Leonid Kruglyak
    A maternal toxin-antidote element has degenerated into an antidote-only remnant in some Caenorhabditis elegans isolates, while in others, the toxin may instead be silenced by small RNAs.

    Translational reading frame predicts the pathogenicity of C-terminal frameshift deletions in MeCP2

    Jacky Guy, Elena Hein ... Adrian Bird
    The pathogenicity of MECP2 C-terminal deletions is determined by translational reading frame, enabling prediction of clinical outcome and a shared therapeutic genome editing strategy.

    Evaluating the applicability of replication success metrics in animal-to-human translation: A simulation study

    Carolyne Jie Huang, Samuel Pawel ... Rachel Heyard
    A simulation study shows that metrics suggested to assess replication studies are useful in the translation context, but researchers need to clarify their translation goals a priori.

    Mood computational mechanisms underlying increased risk behavior in adolescent suicidal patients

    Zhihao Wang, Tian Nan ... Bastien Blain
    Adolescent suicidality is linked to riskier choices through stronger attraction to high-reward gambles and blunted mood responses to safe rewards.

    Functional specialization of mPFC-BLA and mPFC-NAc pathways in affective state representation

    Chien-Hsien Lai, Gyeongah Park ... Jianyang Du
    Separate prefrontal output channels preferentially track anxiety, exploration, and social preference, revealing how emotional context is organized into adaptive behavior.

    LRRK2 regulates synaptic function through modulation of actin cytoskeletal dynamics

    Giulia Tombesi, Shiva Kompella ... Elisa Greggio
    LRRK2 couples brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling to synaptic actin remodeling, defining a novel mechanism of LRRK2 synaptic function and highlighting early, targetable pathways in Parkinson’s disease.

    The cistrome response to hypoxia in human umbilical vein endothelial cells

    Ayush Singh, Viktor Pastukh ... Hank W Bass
    The genomic response of endothelial cells to hypoxia via MOA-seq transcription factor occupancy profiling identified known and novel HIF1A-associated and independent cis-regulatory elements, which defined ten distinct hypoxic kinetic clusters.
