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.
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.

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.
Keratinocytes, which activate an EMT-like program in the skin, can prevent melanoma invasion, highlighting how changes in the tumor microenvironment can act as restraining forces in cancer.
Eutherian mammals living in China after the end-Cretaceous extinctions evolved larger tooth sizes first before becoming more specialized in their biting performance, mirroring a similar pattern in brain evolution.
