Micronuclear collapse under oxidative stress drives amphisome-mediated export of DNA in Parkinson disease

H Tavares, O Gonçalves, Rita Gaspar…·Carla Lopes

The paper shows that oxidative stress causes micronuclear collapse in Parkinson's fibroblasts, leading to DNA export via amphisomes and pro-inflammatory EVs, which can be mitigated by a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant.

Dynamic representation of appetitive and aversive stimuli in nucleus accumbens shell D1- and D2-medium spiny neurons

Ana Verónica Domingues, Tawan T. A. Carvalho, Gabriela J. Martins…·Ana João Rodrigues

The paper shows that D1- and D2-MSNs in the NAc shell encode appetitive and aversive stimuli and their extinction, with D2-MSNs playing a key role in aversive association extinction.
