Combining nanobody labeling with STED microscopy reveals input-specific and layer-specific organization of neocortical synapses. by Yeasmin Akter, Grace Jones, Grant J Daskivich, Victoria Shifflett, Karina J Vargas, Martin Hruska

“…The discovery of synaptic nanostructures revealed key insights into the molecular logic of synaptic function and plasticity. Yet, our understanding of how diverse synapses in the brain organize their nano-architecture remains elusive, largely due to the limitations of super-resolution imaging in complex brain tissue. …”

Does Freediving Lead to Hippocampal Adaptability to Hypoxia and Maintenance of Episodic Memory? by Julia Micaux, Clément Poiret, Jingwen Zhao, Aya El Hajj, Morgane Tillenon, Abir Troudi Habibi, Franck Mauconduit, Fawzi Boumezbeur, Catherine Chiron, Marion Noulhiane

“…Conclusions: These findings suggest that repeated voluntary hypoxic exposure during freediving training does not impair episodic memory function. Freedivers’ memory performance remained comparable with that of the control group, with no detectable adverse effects on hippocampal anatomy.…”

The microtubule-severing enzyme spastin regulates spindle dynamics to promote chromosome segregation in Trypanosoma brucei by Thiago Souza Onofre, Qing Zhou, Ziyin Li

“…Knockdown of spastin impairs spindle integrity and disrupts chromosome alignment and segregation. We further show that the function of spastin requires the catalytic AAA-ATPase domain, the microtubule-binding domain, and the microtubule interacting and trafficking domain, and that the association of spastin with spindle depends on the microtubule-binding domain. …”
