RNA-dependent chromatin organization during development

Alexa Alipour, Nidhi Rani Lokesh, Mark E. Pownall

The paper uses nanoscale imaging to show RNA influences chromatin compaction during zebrafish development, independent of heterochromatin pathways.

Synaptic activity controls local exposure of an 'eat-me' signal via ANO3-ITPR1 signaling

Kunal Shroff, Molly C O'Brien, Tyler J. Smith…·Martin Kampmann

The paper identifies ANO3-ITPR1 signaling as a caspase-independent mechanism for synaptic phosphatidylserine exposure, which controls synapse pruning during development and neurodegeneration.

In situ Proteomics Unveils Specialized Domains for Extrasynaptic Signaling on Neuronal Cilia

Chia-Hsiang Chang, Van Ngu Trinh, Sammy Weiser Novak…·Maxence V. Nachury

The paper uses in situ proteomics to show neuronal cilia have specialized nanodomains for extrasynaptic signaling, enriched in synaptic proteins and neurotransmitter receptors.
