    Synaptic mechanisms modulate the spatiotemporal dynamics of striatal direct pathway neurons and motor output

    John J Marshall, Jian Xu ... Anis Contractor
    Bidirectional modulation of the activity of the synaptic protein mGluR5 alters spontaneous mouse motor behavior and produces correlated changes in co-activity patterns among direct pathway neurons in the dorsal striatum.

    Directed differentiation of functional corticospinal-like neurons from endogenous SOX6+/NG2+ cortical progenitors

    Abdulkadir Ozkan, Hari K Padmanabhan ... Jeffrey D Macklis
    Developmentally-based directed differentiation from cortical progenitors sets a foundation for in vitro mechanistic and therapeutic disease modeling, and toward regenerative neuronal repopulation and circuit repair.

    Axonal distribution of mitochondria maintains neuronal autophagy during aging via eIF2β

    Kanako Shinno, Yuri Miura ... Kanae Ando
    Upregulation of the β subunit of translation initiation factor eIF2 underlies autophagy suppression and premature aging caused by disruption of axonal transport of mitochondria.

    Sex-specific exploration accounts for differences in valence learning in male and female mice

    Heike Schuler, Eshaan S Iyer ... Rosemary C Bagot
    Deep behavioral phenotyping reveals that performance readouts from single-valence conditioning are biased by baseline sex differences in exploration, and mixed-valence conditioning provides a clearer assessment of learning in both sexes.

    Robust assessment of asymmetric division in colon cancer cells

    Domenico Caudo, Chiara Giannattasio ... Mattia Miotto
    Combining statistical modeling with flow cytometry enables reliable, high-throughput quantification of division asymmetry in live cells, revealing how partitioning noise may shape tumor cell heterogeneity.

    HIV-specific CD8+ T-cell proliferative response 24 weeks after early antiretroviral therapy initiation is associated with the subsequent reduction in the viral reservoir

    Pien Margien van Paassen, Alexander O Pasternak ... Godelieve J de Bree
    In individuals who started antiretroviral therapy during acute HIV infection, the proliferative capacity of HIV-specific CD8+ T-cells at 24 weeks of therapy predicted the subsequent reduction in the viral reservoir.

    Doubling dolutegravir dosage reduces the viral reservoir in ART-treated people with HIV

    Céline Fombellida-Lopez, Aurelija Valaitienė ... Gilles Darcis
    In a randomized trial, ART intensification by doubling the dolutegravir dosage in people with HIV stably suppressed on dolutegravir-based ART reduced levels of four HIV reservoir markers in peripheral blood.

    Computational modelling identifies key determinants of subregion-specific dopamine dynamics in the striatum

    Aske Ejdrup, Jakob Kisbye Dreyer ... Ulrik Gether
    A computational model of the striatal dopamine system predicts transporter expression and organisation as key determinants of regional striatal dopamine dynamics and distinct signal decoding by D1 and D2 receptors.

    A single-cell atlas of the testicular interstitium defines Leydig progenitor networks sustaining Leydig cell homeostasis across the lifespan

    Xiaojia Huang, Kai Xia ... Wei Zhao
    Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of the murine testicular interstitium across the lifespan reveals Cd34+/Sox4+ mesenchymal cells as Leydig progenitors, whose aging-associated decline in glutathione and Sox4-regulated regenerative capacity inform potential therapeutic strategies for age-related testicular dysfunction.

    A titin missense variant drives atrial electrical remodeling and is associated with atrial fibrillation

    Mahmud Arif Pavel, Hanna Chen ... Dawood Darbar
    Genetic and electrophysiological studies uncover a mechanism linking a TTN missense variant to atrial fibrillation by coupling titin with potassium channel remodeling, revealing FHL2 as a modulator and therapeutic target.
