The paper identifies a primed endothelial progenitor that requires VEGF/ERK inhibition to differentiate into vein endothelial cells, revealing a two-step process for vein development.

This study shows that activity-dependent alternative splicing of Latrophilin-3 controls synapse formation through dual pathways involving GS/cAMP signaling and phase-separated protein scaffolds.

The paper uses spatial and single-cell transcriptomics to identify memory-specific transcriptional signatures in neurons and astrocytes of the basolateral amygdala, revealing their role in long-term memory formation.

This study identifies AATBC as a human-specific lncRNA that regulates adipocyte plasticity and mitochondrial function, linking it to metabolic health.
