Functional Screening of Kv7.5 Channel Variants Associated with Neuronal Dysfunction

Diana V Hunter, Shefali Vishwakarma, Naseem Givzad, Joshua Liu, Mercedes Sanei, Braden Kersey, Ramon I Klein Geltink, Damon T Poburko, Maksymilian Prondzynski, Tom Claydon

This study functionally characterizes Kv7.5 channel variants, identifying gain- and loss-of-function effects and proposing a z-score classification for pathogenicity.

NOD2 activation reprograms infiltrating inflammatory monocytes in the Zika virus infected CNS to maintain neural correlates of learning and memory

Jeremy D. Hill, Alice H.W. Dong, Joshua Liu, Marina Diniz Barbezani, Tallulah S. Andrews, Robyn S Klein

This study shows that NOD2 activation with MDP during ZIKV infection shifts monocytes to an anti-inflammatory state, preserving synapses and cognitive function in the hippocampus.

CCR2 limits inflammatory functions of CD8 TRM cells that impair recognition memory during recovery from WNV encephalitis

Shenjian Ai, Artem Arutyunov, Joshua Liu, Jeremy D. Hill, Xiaoping Jiang, Robyn S. Klein

The paper shows that CCR2 signaling in CD8 TRM cells during WNV recovery limits neuroinflammation and prevents memory impairments.
