This study identifies Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) as a regulator of adult neural stem cell quiescence and activation, showing that its inhibition enhances neurogenesis.

This study shows that galectin-4 deficiency in mice alters gut microbiota, impairs memory, and disrupts hippocampal synaptic plasticity.

The paper identifies galectin-4 as a neuronal factor that establishes and regulates non-myelinated axon segments by forming membrane domains that exclude myelination.
