MCTP is an ER-resident calcium sensor that stabilizes synaptic transmission and homeostatic plasticity. [PDF]

, 2017
Presynaptic homeostatic plasticity (PHP) controls synaptic transmission in organisms from Drosophila to human and is hypothesized to be relevant to the cause of human disease.

A Depolarizing Leak in Sodium Bicarbonate Cotransporter NBCe1 Causes Brain Edema

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives SLC4A4 encodes electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1, prominently expressed in kidney and brain. Recessive loss‐of‐function variants in SLC4A4 cause proximal renal tubular acidosis, no brain edema. In the brain, NBCe1 is expressed by astrocytes, where it regulates pH and mediates astrocyte volume changes.

Functional equivalence of stem cell and stem cell-derived extracellular vesicle transplantation to repair the irradiated brain. [PDF]

, 2020
Cranial radiotherapy, although beneficial for the treatment of brain tumors, inevitably leads to normal tissue damage that can induce unintended neurocognitive complications that are progressive and debilitating. Ionizing radiation exposure has also been

A Systematic Comparison of Alpha‐Synuclein Seed Amplification Assays for Increasing Reproducibility

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed amplification assays (SAAs) enable ultrasensitive detection of misfolded α‐synuclein across biofluids and tissues. Yet, heterogeneity in protocols limits cross‐study comparability and clinical translation. Here, we review α‐synuclein SAA methods and their performance across various biological matrices.

Extracellular Vesicles and Metastasis

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2019
Secretion of cell contents through extracellular vesicles (EVs), such as exosomes and microvesicles, is a fundamental cell behavior. Compared with their normal counterparts, cancer cells are different in the amount and composition of EVs they secrete as a result of intrinsic and extrinsic (microenvironmental) alterations.
