Functional recovery of the adult murine hippocampus after cryopreservation by vitrification

Alexander German, Enes Yağız Akdaş, Cassandra Flügel‐Koch, Ezgi Erterek, Renato Frischknecht, Anna Fejtová, Jürgen Winkler, Christian Alzheimer, Fang Zheng

This study shows that the adult murine hippocampus can recover near-physiological function after vitrification, preserving key features like synaptic plasticity and neuronal excitability.

Pyridoxal Kinase Inhibition by Artemisinins Downregulates Inhibitory Neurotransmission

Vikram Babu Kasaragod, Anabel Pacios-Michelena, Natascha Schaefer, Fang Zheng, Nicole Bader, Christian Alzheimer, Carmen Villmann, Hermann Schindelin

This study shows artemisinins inhibit pyridoxal kinase, disrupting GABAergic signaling by reducing PLP production and affecting glutamic acid decarboxylase activity.
