    Neurotrophin-3 regulates ribbon synapse density in the cochlea and induces synapse regeneration after acoustic trauma

    Guoqiang Wan, Maria E Gómez-Casati ... Gabriel Corfas
    Overexpression of the growth factor neurotrophin-3 helps to repair noise-induced damage in the mouse inner ear by promoting the regeneration of damaged synapses.

    Cryo-EM analyses reveal the common mechanism and diversification in the activation of RET by different ligands

    Jie Li, Guijun Shang ... Xiao-chen Bai
    Cryo-EM studies reveal structural basis for the activation, auto-inhibition and regulation of RET receptor tyrosine kinase.

    p75NTR prevents the onset of cerebellar granule cell migration via RhoA activation

    Juan P Zanin, Wilma J Friedman
    The p75 neurotrophin receptor prevents the migration of the granule cell precursors away from its mitogenic niche in the external granule layer of the cerebellum, by maintaining a pool of undifferentiated cells capable of responding to mitogenic signals.

    Rab10 regulates the sorting of internalised TrkB for retrograde axonal transport

    Oscar Marcelo Lazo, Giampietro Schiavo
    BDNF-regulated deployment of Rab10 to the distal axon regulates retrograde propagation of neurotrophic signalling, providing a flexible mechanism to fine-tune the communication between the synapse and the cell body of neurons, as well as novel therapeutic targets for neurodegeneration.

    Neurons enhance blood–brain barrier function via upregulating claudin-5 and VE-cadherin expression due to glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor secretion

    Lu Yang, Zijin Lin ... Li Liu
    The established triple co-culture blood-–brain barrier (BBB) model could be used for predicting drugs’ BBB permeability, and co-culture with neurons and astrocytes enhanced brain endothelial cells’ integrity by secreting GDNF, which upregulated claudin-5 and VE-cadherin expression.

    Endosomal dysfunction contributes to cerebellar deficits in spinocerebellar ataxia type 6

    Anna A Cook, Tsz Chui Sophia Leung ... Alanna Jean Watt
    Changes in the intracellular trafficking of key signaling molecules in endosomes lead to pathophysiology in a rare disease affecting the cerebellum.

    Environmental stimuli shape microglial plasticity in glioma

    Stefano Garofalo, Alessandra Porzia ... Cristina Limatola
    The microenvironment of brain tumors can be modulated by in vivo conditions that change the brain levels of BDNF and IL-15, with effects on innate immune cell activation.

    Early structural and functional plasticity alterations in a susceptibility period of DYT1 dystonia mouse striatum

    Marta Maltese, Jennifer Stanic ... Antonio Pisani
    Structural and functional striatal synaptic plasticity abnormalities occur early in a sensitive developmental period, representing a potential unique endophenotypic traits that increase the risk of manifesting clinical symptoms in DYT1 mutation carriers.

    High-intensity training enhances executive function in children in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial

    David Moreau, Ian J Kirk, Karen E Waldie
    Short bursts of high-intensity exercise elicit robust improvements in core cognitive abilities, especially in individuals whose genotype is associated with lower cognitive performance.
