Localized SARS-CoV-2 Infection Triggers a Tissue-Wide Antiviral Response and Functional Impairment of Olfactory Sensory Neurons

This study investigates how SARS-CoV-2 infection affects olfactory sensory neurons in mice, showing localized infection triggers a tissue-wide antiviral response and functional impairment without neuronal loss.

The unconventional kinesin Kif26a is required for the guidance of major axon tracts in the developing mouse brain

This study shows Kif26a is required for axon tract guidance in the developing mouse brain, with defects similar to the Fzd3-Celsr3-Dystroglycan pathway.

Pcdh20 is a POU2F3 target gene required for proper tuft cell microvillus organization

This study identifies Pcdh20 as a POU2F3 target gene essential for tuft cell microvillus structure, showing its role in maintaining microvillar rigidity and organization.
