This study identifies a brain-specific neuronal population critical for viable pregnancy by analyzing gene expression changes in estrogen receptor alpha-expressing neurons during gestation.

The paper identifies a disease-associated motor neuron state in a mouse ALS model that precedes cell death and links it to human ALS genetic risk factors.

The paper investigates how glaucoma-associated Optineurin mutations affect transmitophagy in Xenopus laevis optic nerves, finding increased mitochondrial shedding and degradation by astrocytes.
