This study compares the molecular effects of prenatal nicotine exposure and maternal smoking during pregnancy on mouse brain development and adulthood, finding distinct gene expression changes in pups but not adults.

This study identifies transcriptomic changes in rat habenula and amygdala after chronic fentanyl self-administration, linking them to human cell types and risk genes for addiction.

The paper integrates QTL mapping and CRISPR screening in iPSC-derived microglia to identify genetic drivers of neurodegenerative risk by linking variants to phenotypes and gene expression.

The paper benchmarks cellular deconvolution methods using a multi-assay dataset from human prefrontal cortex, finding Bisque and hspe to be the most accurate.
