This study uses genetic biosensors to visualize calcium signaling dynamics in macrophages, revealing mechanosensitivity and the effects of Piezo1 channel ablation.

This paper develops and validates caged oxytocin analogs that can be activated with light to precisely control oxytocin signaling in the brain and peripheral tissues.

This study identifies Grem1 as a marker for neuroprogenitors generating cortical glutamatergic neurons and shows that its deletion causes cortical and behavioral defects in mice.
