SIK3 links synaptic strength to sleep pressure through RhoA signaling

This study shows SIK3 links synaptic strength to sleep pressure via RhoA signaling, with two opposing pathways affecting spine size and sleep delta density.

Broadband electronic resonance coherent anti-Stokes/Stokes Raman scattering microscopy

This paper introduces BER-CARS/CSRS microscopy, which enables highly sensitive, label-free imaging of endogenous chromophores with broad spectral coverage, applied to living cells and tissues.

Local niche-derived immunosuppressive CXCR2+ cells impair antiviral immunity

The paper identifies CXCR2+ MDSC-like cells in the olfactory bulb that suppress antiviral immunity, leading to worse outcomes after VSV infection.

Deep Learning-coupled Proximity Proteomics to Deconvolve Kinase Signaling In Vivo

The paper introduces KolossuS, a deep learning framework for kinase-substrate prediction, integrated with CRISPR-based proximity proteomics to identify kinase substrates in vivo, including novel substrates associated with sleep deprivation.

Sequential Transitions of Male Sexual Behaviours Driven by Dual Acetylcholine-Dopamine Dynamics

This study identifies dual acetylcholine-dopamine dynamics in the ventral shell of the nucleus accumbens that drive sequential transitions of male sexual behaviors in mice.
