Alternative translation initiation produces synaptic organizer proteoforms with distinct localization and functions

Jong Seo Lee, Yu Sun, Alexa R. Soares, Caroline Fai, Marina R. Picciotto, Junjie U. Guo

The paper shows that alternative translation initiation sites produce proteoforms with distinct localization and functions, specifically in synaptic organizers like NPR and C1q-like proteins.

Role of microglia in stress-induced alcohol intake in female and male mice

Alexa R. Soares, Vernon Garcia‐Rivas, Caroline Fai, Merrilee A. Thomas, Xiaoying Zheng, Marina R. Picciotto, Yann S. Mineur

This study shows that stress increases alcohol consumption in female mice but not males, and microglial depletion reduces stress-induced drinking in females.
