Magel2 deficiency drives microglial synaptic engulfment and alters neuron-microglia interactions in Prader-Willi syndrome

Jemima Helen, Moritz Claudius Wimmer, Berkan Kanmaz…·Ferdinand Althammer

This study shows that Magel2 deficiency in a mouse model of Prader-Willi syndrome causes microglial structural changes and increased synaptic engulfment, altering neuron-microglia interactions and hypothalamic circuit function.

FOXP1 differentially regulates the development of murine vasopressin and oxytocin magnocellular neurons

Jari B. Berkhout, Sophie Trender, Quirin Krabichler…·Ahmed Essam Mahfouz

The paper identifies FOXP1 as a key regulator of oxytocin neuron differentiation and shows its role in reducing AVP and OXT neuron abundance in knockout mice.
