Alternative organelle targeting of OPA1 mediates fatty acid release from lipid droplets

This study identifies OPA1's role in fatty acid release from lipid droplets and links its function to human metabolism.

LRRC57/RABIN is a presynaptic inhibitor of Rab GTPases in glutamatergic neurons

The paper identifies LRRC57/RABIN as a presynaptic inhibitor of Rab GTPases in glutamatergic neurons, showing it regulates neurotransmitter release and prevents epileptiform activity.

APOE is a presynaptic protein that accumulates with age and modulates neurotransmitter release

This study identifies APOE as a presynaptic protein enriched in aged female mice, showing it modulates neurotransmitter release and affects synaptic function.

Protein domain characterization reveals human MIC60 tolerates loss of helical bundle domain

The paper identifies that the helical bundle domain of human MIC60 is dispensable for its core functions, revealing unexpected modularity in MICOS organization.

Carbohydrate adaptation drives liver-brain axis maturation

The paper shows that LACTB2 in the liver regulates mitochondrial maturation to coordinate carbohydrate metabolism with brain development in mice.

Synaptic plasticity in human thalamocortical assembloids

This paper demonstrates that thalamocortical assembloids formed from human organoids exhibit functional glutamatergic synapses with short-term plasticity and distinct long-term potentiation and depression mechanisms compared to rodents.

iTome Volumetric Serial Sectioning Apparatus for TEM

The paper describes an automated ultra-microtome for TEM sectioning, achieving high success rates in cutting and picking up sections from various biological samples.

Altered GM1 catabolism affects NMDAR-mediated Ca2+ signaling at ER-PM junctions and increases synaptic spineformation

This study shows that altered GM1 catabolism disrupts ER-PM junctions, increases Ca2+ signaling, and promotes synaptic spine formation in a neurodegenerative disease model.
