    Glaucoma-associated Optineurin mutations increase transcellular degradation of mitochondria in a vertebrate optic nerve

    Yaeram Jeong, Chung-ha O Davis ... Nicholas Marsh-Armstrong
    Increased transfer of axonal mitochondria to optic nerve astrocytes after expression of glaucoma-associated Optineurin variants suggest that increased transcellular degradation of axonal mitochondria may play a causative role in at least some forms of glaucoma.

    Longitudinal awake imaging of mouse deep brain microvasculature with super-resolution ultrasound localization microscopy

    Yike Wang, Matthew R Lowerison ... Pengfei Song
    Ultrasound localization microscopy in awake mice enables high-resolution imaging of cerebral microvasculature in a natural physiological state, eliminates confounding effects of anesthetics, and supports reliable longitudinal vascular assessment across weeks.
