The malaria parasite PP1 phosphatase controls the initiation of the egress pathway of asexual blood-stages by regulating the rounding-up of the vacuole. by Marie Seveno, Manon N Loubens, Laurence Berry, Arnault Graindorge, Maryse Lebrun, Catherine Lavazec, Mauld H Lamarque

“…These events are coordinated by two intracellular second messengers, cGMP and calcium ions (Ca2+), that control the activation of their dedicated kinases, PKG and CDPKs respectively, and thus the secretion of parasitic factors that assist membranes rupture. …”

Electrophysiologically calibrated optogenetic stimulation of dentate granule cells mitigates dendritic spine loss in denervated organotypic entorhino-hippocampal slice cultures by Tijana Hanauske, Carolin Christina Koretz, Tassilo Jungenitz, Jochen Roeper, Alexander Drakew, Thomas Deller

“…To achieve this outcome, we had to calibrate the intensity and duration of optogenetic (light) pulses using whole-cell electrophysiological recordings and multi-cell calcium imaging. Our findings showed that ChR2-expressing cells generated action potentials (APs) or calcium transients in response to illumination but were otherwise functionally indistinguishable from non-transduced GCs within the same neural circuit. …”
