RNA triggers chronic stress during neuronal aging

Kevin Rhine, Elle Epstein, Natasha M. Carlson, Xuezhen Ge, Orel Mizrahi, Anika Kamat, Anita Hermann, William R. Brothers, John Ravits, Eric J. Bennett, Gülçin Pekkurnaz, Gene Wei-Ming Yeo

This study identifies mitochondrial-derived double-stranded RNA as a source of RNA stress in aged neurons, which activates the ISR through PKR and contributes to neurodegeneration.

Orchestration of SARS-CoV-2 Nsp4 and host-cell ESCRT proteins induces morphological changes of the endoplasmic reticulum

Allison Kifer, Franciso Pina, Nicholas Codallos, Anita Hermann, Lauren Ziegler, Maho Niwa

The paper shows Nsp4 induces ER structural changes in yeast and human cells, mediated by ESCRT proteins, independent of canonical UPR and ERSU pathways.

Human motor neurons are rare and can be transcriptomically divided into known subtypes

Olivia Gautier, Jacob A. Blum, James Maksymetz, Derek C. Chen, Christoph Schweingruber, Irene Mei, Anita Hermann, David H. Hackos, Eva Hedlund, John Ravits, Aaron D. Gitler

The paper analyzes single-nucleus RNA-seq data from human spinal cord neurons, identifies motor neurons as rare, and highlights discrepancies with a prior study due to potential misclassification of cholinergic debris.
