Cell-wide Ca²⁺ signals that regulate numerous cellular functions comprise dual Ca²⁺ release modes through IP₃ receptors, punctate transients mediated by clustered receptors and spatiotemporally diffuse release through functionally distinct receptors.

Synapses employ distinct acute and chronic signaling processes in order to maintain physiologically appropriate levels of function.

An integrated approach for studying laminar organization in the developing mouse retina identifies two families of extracellular recognition proteins that mediate neuronal subtype-specific recognition.

Long-range Ret receptor signaling promotes axon outgrowth and regulates growth cone dynamics in pioneer neurons by inducing transcriptional changes in Myosin-X expression.

The macaque monkey intraparietal sulcus encompasses 17 cyto- and receptorarchitectonically distinct areas, which can be grouped into three clusters based on (dis)similarities of their molecular structure.

Local elimination of acetylcholine synthesis in habenular neurons demonstrates a key role for vesicular synergy and neurotransmitter co-release in nicotine dependence.

The direct interaction of R-type Ca²⁺ channel Cav2.3 and GABA_B receptor auxiliary subunits in the active zone of medial habenula terminals scales synaptic strength independent of GABA_B receptor activation.

The serine protease Matriptase orchestrates simultaneous epithelial cell motility and inflammation in pathological states through respective activation of the MAPK pathway and generation of hydrogen peroxide.

The well-established oncogene IMP3 impairs the interaction between cancer cells and the immune system.

The structure-based design established a new approach to control pathway-selective activation of opioid receptors, resulting in new dual MOR/KOR G-protein biased agonist analgesics with attenuated liabilities.
