Plasticity-induced actin polymerization positions endocytic compartments at the bases of stimulated spines

The paper shows that actin polymerization in dendritic shafts positions endocytic compartments at stimulated spine bases, enhancing glutamate receptor turnover and spine enlargement.

Plasticity-induced actin polymerization in the dendritic shaft regulates intracellular AMPA receptor trafficking

The paper investigates how actin polymerization in dendritic shafts regulates the trafficking of AMPA receptor-containing vesicles during long-term potentiation.

TNF stimulation primarily modulates transcriptional burst size of NF-κB-regulated genes

The paper investigates how TNF stimulation affects transcriptional noise in NF-κB-regulated genes, finding that it primarily increases burst size rather than frequency.

Fold-change detection of NF-κB at target genes with different transcript outputs

The paper investigates fold-change detection of NF-κB at low and high abundance target genes in single cells and finds that transcriptional noise and promoter-bound NF-κB levels differ from model predictions.
