TL;DR: In this paper, a pressure-driven, nanobody-based whole-body immunolabeling technology was developed to enhance the signal of fluorescent proteins by up to two orders of magnitude, which allowed them to image and quantify subcellular details through bones, skin and highly autofluorescent tissues of intact transparent mice.

TL;DR: The results suggest that, in rodents, the removal of fluid and metabolites from the intraocular space occurs through a glymphatic pathway that might be impaired in glaucoma.

TL;DR: In this paper , a structural artery-brain circuit (ABC) was found in mouse and human atherosclerosis-diseased adventitia segments showed expanded axon networks, including growth cones at axon endings near immune cells and media smooth muscle cells.
Direct binding of GABAA receptor β2 and β3 subunits to gephyrin.
Sarah Kowalczyk,Aline Winkelmann,Aline Winkelmann,Birthe Smolinsky,Benjamin Förstera,Ines Neundorf,Guenter Schwarz,Jochen C. Meier +7 more
TL;DR: A novel gephyrin‐binding motif is identified in GABAAR β2 and β3 large cytoplasmic loops of GABAAR α1, α2, β3 and β2 subunits, derived from the different GABAAR subunits.

Splice-specific roles of glycine receptor alpha3 in the hippocampus.
Sabrina A. Eichler,Benjamin Förstera,Birthe Smolinsky,René Jüttner,Thomas-Nicolas Lehmann,Michael Fähling,Günter Schwarz,Pascal Legendre,Pascal Legendre,Pascal Legendre,Jochen C. Meier +10 more
TL;DR: It is reported here that the long (L) splice variant of GlyR α3 predominates in the brain of rodents and involves post‐transcriptional processing of GLRA3 transcripts in the pathophysiology of TLE.
