Arc Capsids Facilitate the Transfer of Muscleblind.

Max Zinter, Cong Xiao, P Githure M'angale, Rubing Zhao-Shea, Timothy Freels, Andrew R. Tapper, Travis Thomson

This paper shows Arc interacts with Mbnl1 RNA in a neuronal activity-dependent manner, facilitating transsynaptic transfer of Mbnl1 RNA through extracellular vesicles in Drosophila and mammals.

Somatic function of the Argonaute protein Aubergine is essential for neuromuscular development and function in Drosophila

P Githure M'angale, Devyn Oliver, Gimena Alegre, Jasmine Graslie, Angelina Tran, Alia Ohira, Max Zinter, Anna Malinkevich, Travis Thomson

The paper shows that the Argonaute protein Aubergine represses transposable elements in Drosophila neuromuscular junctions, ensuring proper synapse development and function.

Rlim coordinates diurnal regulation of food intake and thermogenesis

Feng Wang, Poonam Mehta, Max Zinter, P Githure M'angale, Thien Le, Huawei Li, Jason K. Kim, David A. Guertin, Gilles E. Martin, Travis Thomson, Ingolf Bach

This study shows that Rlim regulates diurnal rhythms of food intake and thermogenesis in mice by modulating specific GABAergic neurons in the SCN.

An orbitocortical-thalamic circuit suppresses binge alcohol-drinking.

Pablo Giménez‐Gómez, Thien Le, Max Zinter, P Githure M'angale, Violeta Durán‐Laforet, Timothy G. Freels, Rebecca G. Pavchinskiy, Susanna Molas, Dorothy P. Schafer, Andrew R. Tapper, T. J. Thomson, Gilles E. Martin

The paper identifies a GABAergic neuronal ensemble in the medial orbitofrontal cortex that suppresses binge alcohol drinking by projecting to the mediodorsal thalamus.
