The role of histone modifications in transcription regulation upon DNA damage

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review discusses the critical role of histone modifications in regulating gene expression during the DNA damage response (DDR). By modulating chromatin structure and recruiting repair factors, these post‐translational modifications fine‐tune transcriptional programmes to maintain genomic stability.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Layer 6 ensembles can selectively regulate the behavioral impact and layer-specific representation of sensory deviants

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Predictive models can enhance the salience of unanticipated input. Here, we tested a key potential node in neocortical model formation in this process, layer (L) 6, using behavioral, electrophysiological and imaging methods in mouse primary somatosensory

The Role of Inhibitory Interneurons in Circuit Assembly and Refinement Across Sensory Cortices

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022
Sensory information is transduced into electrical signals in the periphery by specialized sensory organs, which relay this information to the thalamus and subsequently to cortical primary sensory areas.

Emerging role of ARHGAP29 in melanoma cell phenotype switching

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study gives first insights into the role of ARHGAP29 in malignant melanoma. ARHGAP29 was revealed to be connected to tumor cell plasticity, promoting a mesenchymal‐like, invasive phenotype and driving tumor progression. Further, it modulates cell spreading by influencing RhoA/ROCK signaling and affects SMAD2 activity. Rho GTPase‐activating protein

Inhibition mediated by group III metabotropic glutamate receptors regulates habenula activity and defensive behaviors

open access: yesNature Communications
Inhibition plays a key role in brain functions. While typically linked to GABA, inhibition can be induced by glutamate via metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs). Here, we investigated the role of mGluR-mediated inhibition in the habenula, a conserved,

Space–Time–Frequency Multi-Sensor Analysis for Motor Cortex Localization Using Magnetoencephalography

open access: yesSensors, 2020
Brain source imaging and time frequency mapping (TFM) are commonly used in magneto/electro encephalography (M/EEG) imaging. However, these methods suffer from important limitations.

Gabaergic Interneurons in Early Brain Development: Conducting and Orchestrated by Cortical Network Activity

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
Throughout early phases of brain development, the two main neural signaling mechanisms—excitation and inhibition—are dynamically sculpted in the neocortex to establish primary functions.

Potential therapeutic targeting of BKCa channels in glioblastoma treatment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review summarizes current insights into the role of BKCa and mitoBKCa channels in glioblastoma biology, their potential classification as oncochannels, and the emerging pharmacological strategies targeting these channels, emphasizing the translational challenges in developing BKCa‐directed therapies for glioblastoma treatment.

Actin dynamics controlled by IqgC, a RasGAP at the crossroads between the IQGAP and fungal GAP1 families

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
IqgC is a RasGAP from Dictyostelium discoideum. IqgC binds RasG via its RasGAP domain and deactivates it on macroendocytic cups, thereby suppressing the uptake of fluid and particles. IqgC has a positive effect on cell‐substratum adhesion, and its RGCt domain is required for recruitment to ventral foci.
