Control over neurite orientation in primary hippocampal neurons is achieved by using interrupted, anisotropic micropillar arrays as a cell culture platform. Both neurite orientation and neurite length are controlled by a function of interpillar distance.

Soma and neurite density abnormalities of paramagnetic rim lesions and core-sign lesions in multiple sclerosis.
J Neurol
January 2025
Neuroimaging Research Unit, Division of Neuroscience, IRCCS San Raffaele Scientific Institute, Milan, Italy.
Background: In multiple sclerosis (MS), susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) may reveal white matter lesions (WML) with a paramagnetic rim ("paramagnetic rim lesions" [PRLs]) or diffuse hypointensity ("core-sign lesions"), reflecting different stages of WML evolution.
Objective: Using the soma and neurite density imaging (SANDI) model on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we characterized microstructural abnormalities of MS PRLs and core-sign lesions and their clinical relevance.
Methods: Forty MS patients and 20 healthy controls (HC) underwent a 3 T brain MRI.
Cd99l2 regulates excitatory synapse development and restrains immediate-early gene activation.

Cd99 molecule-like 2 (Cd99l2) is a type I transmembrane protein that plays a role in the transmigration of leukocytes across vascular endothelial cells. Despite its high expression in the brain, the role of Cd99l2 remains elusive. We find that Cd99l2 is expressed primarily in neurons and positively regulates neurite outgrowth and the development of excitatory synapses.

January 2025
National Research Center for Sexual Medicine and Department of Urology, Inha University College of Medicine, Incheon, Korea.
Purpose: To investigate the therapeutic potential of eliminating insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) expression in improving erectile function in mice with cavernous nerve injury (CNI)-induced erectile dysfunction (ED).
Materials And Methods: Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups: a sham-operated group and three CNI-induced ED groups. The CNI-induced ED groups were treated with intracavernous injections 3 days before the CNI procedure.
Sensory experience controls dendritic structure and behavior by distinct pathways involving degenerins.
Elife
January 2025
Department of Biology, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel.
Dendrites are crucial for receiving information into neurons. Sensory experience affects the structure of these tree-like neurites, which, it is assumed, modifies neuronal function, yet the evidence is scarce, and the mechanisms are unknown. To study whether sensory experience affects dendritic morphology, we use the arborized nociceptor PVD neurons, under natural mechanical stimulation induced by physical contacts between individuals.

The model facilitated assessment of RGC loss in models of degeneration and of RGC detection in mixed neural/glial cultures. The tdTomato signal showed strong overlap with >98% cells immunolabeled with RGC markers RBPMS or BRN3A, consistent with the ubiquitous presence of the vesicular glutamate transporter 2 (VGUT2, SLC17A6) in all RGC subtypes.
