A model of early postnatal bacterial meningitis in the mouse demonstrates the transcriptome responses of each of the major meningeal cell types and should prove useful in dissecting the pathophysiology of bacterial meningitis in human infants.

A neural precursor cell defect precedes widespread inflammation, amyloid plaque pathology, and cognitive deficit in Alzheimer's disease, which can be reversed by inhibiting USP16.
The dorsal telencephalon (pallium) in medaka fish accommodates an epigenetically distinct brain area that selectively regulates unique set of synaptic genes compared to the surrounding pallial region, providing insights into the evolution of the pallium in vertebrate.
A near-infrared light-stimulable optogenetic platform enables remote and wireless manipulation of calcium signaling and immune responses both in vitro and in vivo to achieve tailored function.

Together, our multi-tissue single-cell data shows that CD56bright NK cells accumulate in the periventricular brain regions of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, bringing NK cells back to the spotlight of MS pathology.
Iodixanol supplementation provides a simple method for tuning the refractive index of live imaging media, which can greatly improve resolution and penetration depth in live imaging experiments.
