This study shows that preconception ethanol exposure affects offspring transcriptomes differently based on parent, sex, and tissue, indicating metabolic and immune issues.

This study shows that deleting Malat1 reduces alcohol consumption in female mice but not males, suggesting a sex-specific role in alcohol use disorder.

This study shows that MCU regulates synaptic plasticity specifically at CA2 distal dendrites by maintaining mitochondrial morphology and distribution, with loss of MCU causing LTP deficits and mitochondrial fragmentation.

The paper shows that mitochondria in CA2 distal dendrites are larger and enriched in MCU, linking synaptic activity to mitochondrial morphology and function.
