Identification and classification of abundant RNA-binding proteins in the mouse lens and interactions of Carhsp1, Igf2bp1/ZBP1, and Ybx1 with crystallin and β-actin mRNAs

The paper identifies abundant RNA-binding proteins in mouse lenses and characterizes their interactions with crystallin and β-actin mRNAs using proteomic, transcriptomic, and imaging techniques.

Analysis of mouse lens morphological and proteomic abnormalities following depletion of βB3-crystallin

This study establishes a mouse model of Crybb3 loss-of-function and identifies proteomic changes in the lens, including downregulation of multiple proteins and altered transcription factor activation.

Continuous nucleolar ribosomal RNA synthesis in differentiating lens fiber cells until abrupt nuclear degradation required for ocular lens transparency

The paper shows that rRNA transcription continues in differentiating lens fiber cells until nuclear degradation, supporting translational mechanisms for crystallin protein production.

The reliability of the isotropic fractionator method for counting total cells and neurons

This study evaluates the reliability of the isotropic fractionator method for counting total cells and neurons, finding high test-retest reliability but significant variance between counters and samples.

Chronic in vivo optogenetic stimulation modulates neuronal excitability, spine morphology and Hebbian plasticity in the mouse hippocampus

This study shows that chronic optogenetic stimulation of hippocampal neurons reduces spine density, mEPSC amplitude, and impairs LTP while facilitating LTD.
