PIEZOs regulate oligodendrocyte sheath formation, expansion, and myelination potential

This study shows that PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 channels in oligodendrocytes regulate sheath formation, expansion, and myelination by detecting mechanical cues.

Targeting Tmem63b and Piezo2 in C-fiber low threshold mechanoreceptor: limitation of Vglut3-IRES-Cre

The paper evaluates the Vglut3-IRES-Cre mouse line for identifying non-PIEZO2 mechanosensors in C-LTMRs, finding it labels these neurons but fails to efficiently delete genes like Tmem63b.

Erasable Hippocampal Neural Signatures Predict Memory Discrimination

The paper shows that hippocampal place field remapping and coordinated ensemble activity, dependent on protein synthesis, are critical for contextual fear memory consolidation.

Transcription Factor Acj6 Controls Dendrite Targeting via CombinatorialCell-Surface Codes

This study identifies Acj6 as a transcription factor that controls dendrite targeting in Drosophila PNs by regulating combinatorial expression of cell-surface proteins.
