In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Kim et al. present a novel optogenetic tool, opto-PLCβ, to control PLCβ signaling optically. In addition to eliciting PIP2 hydrolysis and downstream signaling in cells, opto-PLCβ also enabled probing the impact of PLCβ signaling on amygdala synaptic plasticity and fear learning in mice.

Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a major neuropeptide in the brain that functions as a neurotransmitter, hormone, and growth factor. The peptide and its receptors are widely expressed in the brain. CCK signaling modulates synaptic plasticity and can improve or impair memory formation, depending on the brain areas studies and the receptor subtype activated.

Background: Rathke cleft cysts (RCCs) are benign sellar/suprasellar lesions that result from mucin-secreting vestigial remnants within the pars intermedia of the pituitary gland. When symptomatic, they can present with retro-orbital headaches, visual field defects, and/or pituitary dysfunction.
Observations: A 35-year-old female presented with subacute retro-orbital headache, right ptosis, and blurred vision.

Economic losses in cattle farms are frequently associated with failed pregnancies. Some studies found that the transcriptomic profiles of blood and endometrial tissues in cattle with varying pregnancy outcomes display discrepancies even before artificial insemination (AI) or embryo transfer (ET). In the study, 330 samples from seven distinct sources and two tissue types were integrated and divided into two groups based on the ability to establish and maintain pregnancy after AI or ET: P (pregnant) and NP (nonpregnant).
