The paper identifies and characterizes small ORFs and microproteins in adipose cells, showing their metabolic relevance and potential roles in obesity and inflammation.

This study identifies a neurogenetic mechanism in Drosophila where the nvy gene suppresses aggression through specific neurons, showing experience-dependent regulation.

The paper identifies disorder-specific and shared changes in astrocyte protein secretion and gene expression in neurodevelopmental disorders, linking increased Igfbp2 and BMP signaling to altered neuronal development.

The paper compares midbrain neurons from PD patients with mutations and sporadic PD, finding reduced synaptic activity and dysregulated extracellular matrix pathways as common features.

The paper identifies astrocyte synapse-regulating genes in the developing mouse visual cortex and shows their expression is modulated by neuronal activity and calcium signaling.

The paper improves smORF annotation by integrating de novo transcriptome assembly and Ribo-Seq, identifying thousands of novel translated smORFs in human cell lines and highlighting their functional potential.
