A method for arrayed CRISPRi screening in organoids enables the investigation of morphogenesis in human stem cell-derived tissues, revealing the roles of ZIC2, SOX11, and ZNF521 in neural tube closure.
Nickase and nuclease Prime Editors offer complementary routes for precise zebrafish genome editing, balancing accuracy for substitutions with efficiency for short insertions.
Genetic experiments integrated with ChIP-sequencing and CRISPR interference reveal that overexpression of Foxc1 transcriptionally activates the expression of Arhgap36 and dysregulates multiple facets of Hedgehog pathway activity.

Membrane insertion of Dyngo-4a results in a dynamin-independent inhibition of caveola dynamics, revealing that outer leaflet lipid packing in the plasma membrane contributes to the confinement of caveolae.
Gaseous CO2 acts as a neuron to glia messenger in peripheral myelin to trigger opening of Schwann Cell Cx32 hemichannels in response to axonal action potential propagation.

Single neurons in mouse sensorimotor cortex are organized by their activity features into distinct subpopulations with area-spanning footprints whose boundaries align closely with anatomical and somatotopic borders.
A new analysis method to measure the propagation of different membrane currents along complex dendritic trees reveals the conditions leading to burst firing in a computational model of place cells.
