The paper uses single-molecule imaging to show activity-dependent localization and translation of Camk2a mRNA at dendritic spines, revealing a mechanism for maintaining CaMKII levels during synaptic plasticity.

The paper identifies abundant RNA-binding proteins in mouse lenses and characterizes their interactions with crystallin and β-actin mRNAs using proteomic, transcriptomic, and imaging techniques.

This study shows that dopamine D2 receptors in mossy cells reduce excitatory transmission and are essential for hippocampal function, with implications for anxiety and epilepsy.

This study shows that phosphorylation of FMRP at S499 alters granule structure and function, affecting transport and translation in neurons.

The paper identifies DNA base-excision repair as a mechanism that amplifies transcriptional noise, enhancing cellular plasticity and reprogramming efficiency.
