    Labeling PIEZO2 Activity in the Peripheral Nervous System

    Researchers found that the vast majority of FM 1-43 somatosensory neuron labeling in mice in vivo was dependent on PIEZO2 activity within the peripheral nerve endings. They illustrated the potential of FM 1-43 by using it to identify novel PIEZO2-expressing urethral neurons that are engaged by urination.

    The Contribution of Inflammatory Astrocytes to BBB Impairments in a Brain-Chip Model of Parkinson’s Disease

    Investigators focused on an unexplored area of Parkinson’s disease pathogenesis by characterizing the interplay between astrocytes, inflammation, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity, and by combining patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells with microfluidic technologies.

    Individual Glioblastoma Cells Harbor Both Proliferative and Invasive Capabilities during Tumor Progression

    Researchers investigated whether tumor cell proliferation and invasion are interrelated, or rather distinct features of different cell populations. Tumor cell invasion and proliferation were longitudinally determined in real-time using 3D in vivo two-photon laser scanning microscopy over weeks.

    Macrophage–Cancer Hybrid Membrane-Camouflaged Nanoplatforms for HIF-1α Gene Silencing-Enhanced Sonodynamic Therapy of Glioblastoma

    Macrophage–cancer hybrid membrane-camouflaged nanoplatforms were fabricated for target gene silencing-enhanced sonodynamic therapy of glioblastoma.

    Multiscale Model of Primary Motor Cortex Circuits Predicts In Vivo Cell-Type-Specific, Behavioral State-Dependent Dynamics

    Scientists developed a multiscale, biophysically detailed model of mouse primary motor cortex with over 10,000 neurons and 30 million synapses. The model accurately predicted in vivo layer- and cell-type-specific responses associated with behavioral states and experimental manipulations.

    Epigenetically Modified AP-2α by DNA Methyltransferase Facilitates Glioma Immune Evasion by Upregulating PD-L1 Expression

    Investigators showed that low expression of AP-2α was correlated with high expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) in high-grade glioma tissues. AP-2α bound directly to the promoter of the CD274 gene enhanced endocytosis and degradation of PD-L1 proteins.

    Microglia Depletion Facilitates the Display of Maternal Behavior and Alters Activation of the Maternal Brain Network in Nulliparous Female Rats

    Researchers recapitulated the peripartum neuroimmune profile by depleting microglia in non-mother female rats who were typically not maternal but can be induced to behave maternally towards foster pups after repeated exposure, a process called maternal sensitization.

    TRIM25-Mediated Ubiquitination of G3BP1 Regulates the Proliferation and Migration of Human Neuroblastoma Cells

    The TRIM25 and Ras-GTPase-activating protein SH3 domain-binding protein 1 (G3BP1) double knockdown SHSY5Y cell line was generated, and double knockdown cells exhibited lower proliferation and migration ability than cells with only TRIM25 or G3BP1 knockdown.

    Neuronal TRPV1-CGRP Axis Regulates Bone Defect Repair through Hippo Signaling Pathway

    Researchers investigated the underlying mechanism of neuronal transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) in regulating bone defect repair. In vivo experiments verified that TRPV1 activation could trigger dorsal root ganglion producing the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in mice.
