Open AccessTranscriptional vulnerabilities of striatal neurons in human and rodent models of Huntington’s disease
Striatal projection neurons (SPNs), which progressively degenerate in human patients with Huntington’s disease (HD), are classified along two axes: the canonical direct-indirect pathway division and the strios...

Single-cell dissection of the human brain vasculature
Despite the importance of the cerebrovasculature in maintaining normal brain physiology and in understanding neurodegeneration and drug delivery to the central nervous system1, human cerebrovascular cells remain ...

An amygdala circuit that suppresses social engagement
Innate social behaviours, such as mating and fighting, are fundamental to animal reproduction and survival1. However, social engagements can also put an individual at risk2. Little is known about the neural mecha...

Open AccessInterleukin-6 deficiency exacerbates Huntington’s disease model phenotypes
Huntington’s disease (HD) is an incurable neurodegenerative disorder caused by CAG trinucleotide expansions in the huntingtin gene. Markers of both systemic and CNS immune activation and inflammation have been wi...

Rotational disruption of dust grains by radiative torques in strong radiation fields
Massive stars, supernovae, and kilonovae are among the most luminous radiation sources in the Universe. Observations usually show near- to mid-infrared (NIR–MIR, λ ≈ 1–5 μm) emission excess from H ii regions arou...

N6-methyladenosine marks primary microRNAs for processing
The addition of the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) mark to primary microRNAs by METTL3 in mammalian cells is found to promote the recognition of these microRNA precursors by DGCR8, a component of the microprocessor com...

Freezing/thawing processing of PVA in the preparation of structured microspheres for protein drug delivery
Drug stability and sustained release issues are important areas in drug-delivery research. The sustained release of proteins can be achieved by their encapsulation with a hydrophobic polymer, but this requires...

Block Copolymer-Based Biomembranes Functionalized with Energy Transduction Proteins
Block copolymer-based membranes can be functionalized with energy transducing proteins to reveal a versatile family of nanoscale materials. Our work has demonstrated the fabrication of protein-functionalized A...
