Stress-primed secretory autophagy drives extracellular BDNF maturation
Silvia Martinelli, Elmira A. Anderzhanova, Svenja Wiechmann…·Nils C. Gassen
This study shows that stress enhances secretory autophagy via FKBP51, leading to increased MMP9 secretion and proBDNF cleavage to mature BDNF, linking stress adaptation to psychiatric disorders.

Sexually divergent effects of social dominance on chronic stress outcomes in mice
Stoyo Karamihalev, Elena Brivio, Cornelia Flachskamm…·Alon Chen
This study shows that in mice, pre-stress social dominance interacts with sex to influence chronic stress outcomes, with males and females showing opposite behavioral responses to stress.

The role of m6A-RNA methylation in stress response regulation
Mareen Engel, Carola Eggert, Paul M. Kaplick…·Alon Chen
This paper investigates how m6A RNA methylation in the brain is regulated by stress and shows its role in fear memory, transcriptome response, and synaptic plasticity, with implications for stress-related disorders.
