This study shows lactation remodels the maternal lung to enhance innate defense against respiratory pathogens through epithelial changes, vascular remodeling, and granulocyte recruitment.

The paper analyzes the conservation and evolution of striatal interneurons across mammals, finding that TAC3 interneurons are conserved and that neuronal types evolve through redistribution and refinement.

The paper introduces SBARRO, a method that maps synaptic connections and RNA expression in neurons using barcoded rabies virus and single-cell RNA sequencing, revealing cell-type-specific synaptic networks in mouse brain cells.
