This study identifies ZFP384 as a regulator that impairs microglial reparative function after stroke, and shows that targeting ZFP384 enhances recovery even in the chronic phase.

The paper identifies a stress-induced pain circuit involving locus coeruleus noradrenergic neurons and spinal astrocytes in mice, showing their role in mechanical pain hypersensitivity.

The paper uses spatial proteomics to identify projection-specific molecular diversity in the prefrontal cortex and identifies BLTP2 as a key presynaptic protein involved in memory and behavior.

This study shows that IL-4 increases CD11c+ microglia in the spinal dorsal horn, which ameliorates neuropathic pain in mice.
