This study shows that deleting neuroligins from astrocytes does not affect synapse numbers or astrocyte structure in mice or human neuron co-cultures.

This study shows that Hrs, an ESCRT-0 protein, modulates AMPA receptor currents and Ca2+-dependent signaling by sensing and responding to neuronal activity at synapses.

This study identifies a combinatorial splicing code in Neurexin-3 that regulates inhibitory synapse function through a trans-synaptic dystroglycan signaling loop.

The paper reveals a cis/trans-protein interaction network that organizes reciprocal dendro-dendritic synapses by compartmentalizing neurexin-based trans-synaptic complexes.

This study shows that neurexin-1 in astrocytes and neurons forms distinct nanodomains at synapses, enabling compartment-specific signaling that differentially regulates synapse function.
