    Optogenetic silencing of hippocampal inputs to the retrosplenial cortex causes a prolonged disruption of spatial working memory

    Bárbara Pinto-Correia, Patrícia Caldeira-Bernardo, Miguel Remondes
    Light-activating a proton pump (eArchT) to silence hippocampal synaptic terminals in the rodent retrosplenial cortex caused a spatial working memory impairment affecting interleaved trials where no light was delivered.

    NOLC1 suppresses immunochemotherapy by inhibiting p53-mediated ferroptosis in gastric cancer

    Shengsheng Zhao, Ji Lin ... Weijian Sun
    NOLC1 inhibits p53 nuclear accumulation and transcription, subsequently suppresses cisplatin-induced ferroptosis, and promotes an immunosuppressive microenvironment, eventually suppressing immunochemotherapy in gastric cancer.
