This study shows that proinflammatory microglia contribute to neuronal death and hyperkatifeia during prolonged abstinence from binge alcohol in mice.

This study identifies neuronal lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) loss as a driver of amyloid pathology in Alzheimer's disease by linking disrupted lipophagy to Aβ accumulation and cognitive deficits.

This study investigates the distinct roles of perineuronal nets on CA2 pyramidal cells and parvalbumin-expressing cells in hippocampal-dependent memory using conditional knockout mice.

This study identifies ASD-like transcriptomic changes in oligodendrocytes and microglia of C58/J mice amygdala, dependent on sex and sociability, using bulk RNA-Seq and snRNA-Seq.

This study shows that sleep disruption accelerates cognitive decline in male P301S Tau mice but not females, without directly causing synaptic Tau pathology.

This study shows that oligodendrocytes require MCL-1 to prevent apoptosis and white matter degeneration, suggesting MCL-1 deficiency contributes to leukodystrophy.
