Sex-divergent responses to microglial depletion suggest distinct regulatory dependencies in the aged brain

This study identifies sex-dimorphic molecular responses to microglial depletion in aged mice, highlighting differences in transcriptional and proteomic changes between males and females.

Multicore-fiber microendoscopy for functional cellular in-organ imaging

This paper develops a multichannel microendoscope for in-organ cellular imaging, achieving subcellular resolution and enabling functional studies in various tissues.

Neuronal lysosome transfer to oligodendrocyte precursor cells: a novel mechanism of neuron-glia communication and its role in neurodegenerative disease

The paper identifies a novel neuron-glia communication mechanism where neurons transfer lysosomes to OPCs, linking this process to neurodegenerative disease progression.

Spatiotemporal transcriptomic niches of complement pathway and serine protease inhibitor activation in aging and infection

This study uses spatial transcriptomics to compare aging and infection effects across multiple organs in mice, identifying shared gene expression patterns in immune pathways.
