This study shows PKD2L1 channels in the apical process of CSFcNs are sensitive to pH changes, modulating neuronal excitability through both phasic and sustained currents.

This paper identifies a cilia-independent mechanosensory mechanism in mouse CSF-contacting neurons using filopodia instead of cilia, showing evolutionary divergence from zebrafish.

This study shows that connexins Cx26 and Cx43 are critical for ependymal cell response to spinal cord injury, with Cx26 affecting proliferation and healing, and Cx43 mediating calcium signaling.

This study investigates the role of Ptr23c in Drosophila hemocyte differentiation and distribution, finding that it regulates timing rather than quantity.

This study investigates the role of Patched-related (Ptr) in Drosophila melanogaster by analyzing survival, movement, and lifespan in Ptr23c null mutants.

The paper shows that loss of Gyc88E or overexpression of Gyc89D in Drosophila neural stem cells increases optic lobe volume, suggesting a role for cGMP signaling in neurogenesis.

The paper examines hypoxia responses in different brain compartments and cell types of Drosophila during development, finding that oxygen availability is the main driver but cell-type specific factors also influence the response.
