BST2 expression at astrocyte borders promotes microglial recruitment via the C3/C3aR signaling 10/24/2025
Zhang et al. reveal that BST2-positive border astrocytes regulate astrocyte-microglia interactions after stroke. Genetic or antibody blockade of BST2 reduces these interactions and improves early functional outcomes, highlighting BST2 as a therapeutic target for brain repair.
An enteric-DRG pathway for interoception and visceral pain in mice 10/23/2025
Wang et al. reveal a neuroanatomical and functional crosstalk between cholinergic enteric neurons and sensory neurons of the dorsal root ganglia that mediates colonic interoception. While this pathway typically elicits non-aversive reflexes under physiological conditions, inflammatory colitis triggers plasticity that transforms its output to promote aversive behaviors.
