A novel retinal ganglion cell requires a cell adhesion molecule to grow its dendrites, collect synaptic inputs, and become selective to edges placed in its receptive field.

Single-cell analysis of injured mouse sciatic nerves reveals rapid reprogramming of macrophages toward a glycolytic, proinflammatory phenotype during the early repair process.

A novel bilinear modeling approach reveals genetic code of neuronal connectivity, offering insights for targeted genetic interventions in neural circuits.

Comprehensive scRNA-seq analysis of cardiac stromal cells in healthy and injured hearts reveals novel cell types and non-linear cell dynamics, providing new insights into cardiac inflammation, fibrosis and repair.

Immune activation in Drosophila macrophages during oxidative stress is regulated by DNA damage signaling, which controls proinflammatory cytokine release and the susceptibility of the fly to oxidative stress.

The lncRNA pCharme controls the expression of cardiomyocyte maturation genes and heart development by orchestrating the formation of MATR3-enriched nuclear condensates.

A modified viral strategy reveals that ventral tegmental area dopamine cells receive substantial inputs from local sources, including distributed GABAergic and serotonergic inputs from the midbrain as well as extensive inputs from other midbrain dopamine cells.

Afferent-derived factors control the elaboration of appropriate and robust sizes of dendritic arbors by dynamically modulating dendritic growth parameters.
