    Identification and comparison of orthologous cell types from primate embryoid bodies shows limits of marker gene transferability

    Jessica Jocher, Philipp Janssen ... Ines Hellmann
    Analysis of scRNA-seq data from primate embryoid bodies highlights the value of cross-species comparisons for identifying and characterizing cell types, as marker genes can evolve fast.

    Increased reluctant vesicles underlie synaptic depression by GPR55 in axon terminals of rat cerebellar Purkinje cells

    Takuma Inoshita, Shin-ya Kawaguchi
    Direct presynaptic patch-clamp recording and fluorescent imaging of the vesicular release demonstrate that a non-canonical cannabinoid receptor GPR55 deprives readily releasable vesicles of competency in cerebellar Purkinje cell axons.

    Extracellular vesicle-mediated release of bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate is regulated by LRRK2 and glucocerebrosidase activity

    Elsa Meneses-Salas, Moises Castellá ... Albert Lu
    Dysregulated exocytosis of bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate (BMP)-enriched extracellular vesicles driven by pathogenic LRRK2 activity supports elevated urinary BMP levels and its use as a biomarker for Parkinson's disease.
