Persistently increased post-stress activity of paraventricular thalamic neurons is essential for the emergence of stress-induced alterations in behaviour. by Anna Jász, László Biró, Zsolt Buday, Bálint Király, Orsolya Szalárdy, Krisztina Horváth, Gergely Komlósi, Róbert Bódizs, Krisztina J Kovács, Marco A Diana, Balázs Hangya, László Acsády

“…Activation of the key forebrain targets (basolateral amygdala, prelimbic cortex, and nucleus accumbens) that mediate defensive behaviour has also been reduced by this post-stress inhibition. Reduction of PVT/CR+ cell activity 5 days later remained still effective in ameliorating stress-induced changes in spontaneous behaviour. …”

With great power, comes great responsibility: the importance of broadly measuring Fc-mediated effector function early in the antibody development process by Silvia Crescioli, Shashi Jatiani, Lenny Moise

“…Given the breadth of effector functions antibodies can deploy and the close interplay between the antibody Fab and Fc functional domains, it is important to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of Fc-mediated functions using an array of antigen-specific biophysical and cell-mediated functional assays. Here, we review antibody and Fc receptor properties that influence Fc effector functions and discuss their implications on development of safe and efficacious antibody therapeutics.…”
