Peroxiredoxin 6 limits mitochondrial peroxidation to prevent mitochondrial ER contact site assembly and inflammatory signalling following adaptive stress

Penglin Li, Yating Zheng, Jiwang Tang…·Brian McDonagh

This study shows PRDX6 limits mitochondrial lipid peroxidation under oxidative stress, preventing MERCS formation and inflammation in both myoblasts and C. elegans.

Exercise Related microRNAs in C. elegans Regulate Calcium Homeostasis and Mitochondrial Dynamics: Conserved pathways, Divergent mircoRNAs

Xia Qin, Jiwang Tang, José C. Casas-Martinez…·Brian McDonagh

This study identifies exercise-related microRNAs in C. elegans that regulate calcium homeostasis and mitochondrial dynamics, showing conserved pathways but divergent microRNAs across species.

Medial entorhinal spike clusters carry more finely tuned spatial information than single spikes

Leo R. Quinlan, Susan M. Tyree, Robert G.K. Munn

The paper shows that spike clusters in medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) convey more spatial information than single spikes, while single spikes are more temporally precise.
