Resolving Native GABAA Receptor Structures from the Human Brain: A Breakthrough Study Academic Background GABAA receptors (γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors) are among the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the brain, responsible for regulating fast inhibitory signaling in neurons. These receptors are not only key drug targe...

Experience-Dependent Dopamine Modulation of Male Aggression in Mice Academic Background Aggression is a common social behavior in the animal kingdom, crucial for territory defense, resource competition, and mate protection. Although the role of dopamine in regulating aggression has been extensively studied, its specific neural mechanisms remain unc...

Genomic Research on Bipolar Disorder Background Introduction Bipolar Disorder (BD) is a severe mental illness that significantly contributes to the global disease burden. Despite its high heritability (60-80%), the majority of its genetic basis remains unclear. Previous studies have primarily focused on European populations, with limited exploratio...

Spatiotemporal Imprinting of Tissue-Resident Memory CD8 T Cell Diversity Background Tissue-resident memory CD8 T cells (TRM cells) provide long-term immune protection at barrier sites such as the intestine. However, the heterogeneity of TRM cells and the mechanisms underlying their formation remain incompletely understood. Previous studies have ide...

The Impact of the Maternal X Chromosome on Cognition and Brain Aging in Female Mice Background Introduction In mammals, female cells possess two X chromosomes, one from the mother (maternal X chromosome, Xm) and one from the father (paternal X chromosome, Xp). During embryonic development, one of the X chromosomes is randomly inactivated, a process...

The Key Role of RELMβ in Food Allergy Academic Background Food allergy (FA) is a common immune system disorder, particularly prevalent among children. The occurrence of food allergy is associated with abnormal immune responses to food antigens, especially the dysregulation of type 2 immune responses. Type 2 immune responses are typically defense me...
