Nanoarchitecture of the presynaptic cell adhesion molecule PTPσ in relation to prospective vesicle fusion sites and postsynaptic NMDA receptors

Emily M. DeMarco, Samira Mitias, Rebecca Aitken…·Thomas A. Blanpied

The paper investigates the nano-organization of PTPσ in cultured rat hippocampal neurons, finding it is enriched at excitatory synapses but does not colocalize with Munc13-1 or predict NMDAR abundance.

ProSAAS is Preferentially Secreted from Neurons During Homeostatic Scaling and Reduces Amyloid Plaque Size in the 5xFAD Mouse Hippocampus

Samira Mitias, Nicholas Schaffer, Saaya Nair…·Iris Lindberg

The paper investigates proSAAS's role in homeostatic scaling and its effect on amyloid plaques in 5xFAD mice, finding increased secretion and reduced plaque size with proSAAS overexpression.
