Altered volume-regulated anion channel activity contributes to depression and anxiety-related molecular and behavioural phenotypes in zebrafish

Athira Ajith, Durai Shalu S, Gautam Mohapatra, Amal Kanti Bera

This study shows that disrupting VRAC function in zebrafish leads to depression- and anxiety-like behaviors and altered gene expression, while VRAC activation improves these phenotypes.

A neuropsychiatric disease-associated mutation in LRRC8B disrupts cellular calcium signaling, mitochondrial function, and bioenergetics

Athira Ajith, Durai Shalu S, Rudrakant Sharma…·Amal Kanti Bera

This paper investigates a neuropsychiatric disease-associated mutation in LRRC8B, showing it disrupts calcium signaling, mitochondrial function, and bioenergetics through interactions with VDAC.
