    The cation channel mechanisms of subthreshold inward depolarizing currents in the mice VTA dopaminergic neurons and their roles in the chronic-stress-induced depression-like behavior

    Jing Wang, Min Su ... Hailin Zhang
    NALCN and TRPC6 drive the subthreshold depolarization of VTA DA neurons and down regulation of TRPC6 contributes to reduced VTA DA neuron firing and chronic stress-induced depression-like behavior of mice.

    Distinct functions of three Wnt proteins control mirror-symmetric organogenesis in the C. elegans gonad

    Shuhei So, Masayo Asakawa, Hitoshi Sawa
    The mirror-symmetric structure of the Caenorhabditis elegans gonad is established through the Wnt-independent function of a Frizzled protein and three Wnt proteins with distinct roles.

    The Smc5/6 complex counteracts R-loop formation at highly transcribed genes in cooperation with RNase H2

    Shamayita Roy, Hemanta Adhikary ... Damien D'Amours
    Genetic analyses in budding yeast coupled with biochemical assays have revealed an unexpected role for the Smc5/6 complex in cellular pathways responsible for the prevention of RNA formation in genomic DNA.
