The paper investigates molecular diversity and connectivity patterns in accessory olfactory system neurons, revealing lineage- and sex-specific differences in connectivity.

This study identifies changes in fatty acid metabolism and gut microbiota in a PAE mouse model, linking them to neurobehavioral deficits and lipid droplet accumulation in the brain.

The paper investigates genetic contributions to skin color variation in a Caribbean population with Native American, African, and European ancestry, identifying specific alleles and ancestry effects on pigmentation.

This study shows that nutrient availability regulates chondroprogenitor accumulation and differentiation in the growth plate, with IGF-1 promoting differentiation after nutrient recovery.

This study shows that disrupting Neurexins in serotonergic neurons reduces serotonin release and alters behavior in mice.

The paper identifies differentially expressed smRNA in fecal exosomes of IBD model mice, suggesting their potential as early diagnostic markers for inflammatory bowel disease.

The paper shows that Nlgn3 interacts with Nrxn1+AS4 in inhibitory synapses to regulate synaptic transmission in mouse hippocampus.

This study identifies genetic regulators of PARP inhibitor response using CRISPR screens, revealing TIP60 as a key factor that reverses PARPi sensitivity in BRCA2-deficient cells.

This study shows that different splice variants of Neuroligin3 affect inhibitory synaptic function in mouse hippocampal CA1 neurons and reveals the diversity of Nlgn gene expression in these neurons.

This study shows that placental allopregnanolone (ALLO) is critical for normal cerebellar development and social behavior in male mice, with ALLO deficiency leading to autism-like traits that can be rescued by ALLO treatment.

The paper evaluates the impact of PCR duplicates on RNA-seq differential expression analysis using qRNA-seq and finds that handling duplicates significantly improves sensitivity and specificity for single-end reads.
