    A pathway for Parkinson’s Disease LRRK2 kinase to block primary cilia and Sonic hedgehog signaling in the brain

    Herschel S Dhekne, Izumi Yanatori ... Suzanne R Pfeffer
    Pathogenic LRRK2kinase requires Rab10 and RILPL1 to block primary cilia formation, shortening cilia on cholinergic neurons needed for a hedgehog driven circuit that supports dopaminergic neurons in mouse brain.

    Point of View: Coordinating a new approach to basic research into Parkinson’s disease

    Randy Schekman, Ekemini AU Riley
    The ASAP initiative will incentivize collaboration between researchers and encourage open-science practices to improve our understanding of the biology underlying Parkinson's disease.

    A genomic lifespan program that reorganises the young adult brain is targeted in schizophrenia

    Nathan G Skene, Marcia Roy, Seth GN Grant
    A genetic program controlling brain genes across the lifespan specifies a calendar of changes in cells, synapses and behavioural genes thereby timing the onset of mental illnesses which arise in young adults.

    Network structure of brain atrophy in de novo Parkinson's disease

    Yashar Zeighami, Miguel Ulla ... Alain Dagher
    The pattern of atrophy in Parkinson's disease is consistent with the disease spreading via intrinsic brain networks.

    Glycolytic preconditioning in astrocytes mitigates trauma-induced neurodegeneration

    Rene Solano Fonseca, Patrick Metang ... Peter M Douglas
    Promoting a Warburg-like shift in astrocytic metabolism through reduced mitochondrial electron transport accommodates the energetic burden caused by brain trauma without overwhelming cellular respiration and redox to salvage dopaminergic neurons.

    Neuropathological and transcriptomic characteristics of the aged brain

    Jeremy A Miller, Angela Guillozet-Bongaarts ... Ed Lein
    High variability in neuropathology burden and interactions between dementia diagnosis and RNA quality present underappreciated complications when studying dementia in an aged population.

    Roles of C/EBP class bZip proteins in the growth and cell competition of Rp (‘Minute’) mutants in Drosophila

    Jorge Blanco, Jacob C Cooper, Nicholas E Baker
    Xrp1 contributes to cell competition as a heterodimer with the Drosophila C/EBP homolog Irbp18 and although rapidly evolving is itself conserved beyond Drosophila.

    Downregulation of Dickkopf-3, a Wnt antagonist elevated in Alzheimer’s disease, restores synapse integrity and memory in a disease mouse model

    Nuria Martin Flores, Marina Podpolny ... Patricia C Salinas
    The Wnt antagonist DKK3 is a key regulator of excitatory and inhibitory synapses, and its downregulation in the hippocampus restores synaptic connectivity and memory in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model.
