Recent technical developments have fueled increasing utilization of proteomics to gain new insights into various aspects of cellular behavior. In this chapter, we describe a method to specifically isolate immune synapses from mouse primary B cells. The method utilizes antibody-coated magnetic beads to induce the formation of the immune synapses and describes a protocol for the extraction of the cell-bead adhesions for mass spectrometry analysis. Finally, this method enables unveiling the large-scale protein content of the immune synapse.

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder marked by recurrent seizures, significantly impacting individuals worldwide. Current treatments are often ineffective for a third of patients and can cause severe side effects, necessitating new therapeutic approaches. Glial cells, particularly astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes, are emerging as crucial targets in epilepsy management.

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) generally fail to regenerate axons, resulting in irreversible vision loss after optic nerve injury. While many studies have shown that modulating specific genes can enhance RGCs survival and promote optic nerve regeneration, inducing long-distance axon regeneration through single-gene manipulation remains challenging. Nevertheless, combined multi-gene therapies have proven effective in significantly enhancing axonal regeneration.

Ferroelectric HfZrO (HZO) capacitors have been extensively explored for in-memory computing (IMC) applications due to their nonvolatility and back-end-of-line (BEOL) compatible process. Several IMC approaches using resistance and capacitance states in ferroelectric HZO have been proposed for vector-matrix multiplication (VMM), but previous approaches suffer from limited accuracy and reliability. In this work, we propose a promising approach centered on the remanent polarization (P) switching of binary ferroelectric HZO capacitor synapses.

This article aims to develop and validate a pathological prognostic model for predicting prognosis in patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant gliomas and reveal the biological underpinning of the prognostic pathological features. The pathomic model was constructed based on whole slide images (WSIs) from a training set ( = 486) and evaluated on internal validation set ( = 209), HPPH validation set ( = 54), and TCGA validation set ( = 352). Biological implications of PathScore and individual pathomic features were identified by pathogenomics set ( = 100).

Caspases are known to mediate neuronal apoptosis during brain development. However, here we show that nonapoptotic activation of caspase-3 at presynapses drives microglial synaptic phagocytosis. Real-time observation and spatiotemporal manipulation of synaptic caspase-3 in the newly established, mouse-derived culture system demonstrate that increased neuronal activity triggers localized presynaptic caspase-3 activation, facilitating synaptic tagging by complements.
