Metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors are candidate drug targets for therapeutic intervention in Parkinson's disease (PD). Here we focused on mGlu3, a receptor subtype involved in synaptic regulation and neuroinflammation. mGlu3 mice showed an enhanced nigro-striatal damage and microglial activation in response to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP).

Single-cell multimodal sequencing parallelly captures multiple modalities of the same cell, providing unparalleled insights into cell heterogeneity and cell dynamics. For example, joint profiling of chromatin accessibility and transcriptome from the same single cell (scATAC + RNA) identified new cell subsets within the well-defined clusters. However, lack of single-cell multimodal omics (scMMO) database has led to data fragmentation, seriously hindering access, utilization and mining of scMMO data.

The metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR, GRM) family is involved in multiple signaling pathways and regulates neurotransmitter release. However, the evolutionary history, distribution, and function of the mGluRs family in lampreys have not been determined. Therefore, we identified the mGluRs gene family in the genome of Lethenteron reissneri, which has been conserved throughout vertebrate evolution.

Article Synopsis
  • Spitz melanocytic neoplasms often have chromosomal rearrangements that lead to recurring gene fusions, primarily involving ALK, with key partners like TPM3 and DCTN1.
  • While ALK fusions are mainly linked to Spitz nevi and atypical Spitz tumors, occurrences in Spitz melanoma are very rare.
  • This study presents a unique case of Spitz melanoma featuring an SLC20A1::ALK fusion, alongside various chromosomal changes typical of melanoma and a mutation in GRM3.

Speech-in-noise (SIN) perception is a primary complaint of individuals with audiometric hearing loss. SIN performance varies drastically, even among individuals with normal hearing. The present genome-wide association study (GWAS) investigated the genetic basis of SIN deficits in individuals with self-reported normal hearing in quiet situations.
