The expression level of CACNA1C-encoded CaV1.2 is a tipping point between promotion and inhibition of dendritic growth in neurons

The paper shows that CaV1.2 expression level determines whether calcium currents promote or inhibit dendritic growth in neurons, with implications for psychiatric disorders.

A bi-directional binding site linking the α2δ-1 subunit to the intrinsic speed control process in VSD I of voltage-gated calcium channels

This study identifies a bi-directional binding site between the α2δ-1 subunit and the voltage-sensing domain I of calcium channels, revealing how it modulates activation kinetics.

Presynaptic α2δ subunits are key organizers of glutamatergic synapses

This study shows that presynaptic α2δ subunits are essential for glutamatergic synapse formation and organization, acting as trans-synaptic organizers.
