Synthetic ribbon-type active zones are reconstituted in cultured cells using a minimal set of proteins that partially mimic structural and functional features of cochlear inner hair cell active zones.
Estrogens produced in the teleost brain increase neural sensitivity to testicular androgens by directly stimulating androgen receptor transcription, thereby eliciting male-typical behaviors.

An alternative splicing regulator previously implicated in calcium signaling in the heart ensures cell-type-specific mRNA processing of long neuronal mRNAs in the mouse brain.
An affinity-guided chemical strategy enabling highly specific biotinylation of P2X7 receptors reveals, by super-resolution microscopy, how the nanoscale organization of endogenous P2X7 in BV2 microglial cells dynamically changes upon activation.
