In a recent study, Kitt, Tabuchi, and colleagues unveiled a novel function of an early-stage transcriptional network to maintain the adult integrity of serotonergic connectivity. Reported axonal and synaptic morphological alterations in serotonin (5-HT) neurons after selective inactivation of Lmx1b/Pet1 transcriptional networks may help to understand aging and neurodegenerative processes.
在最近的一项研究中,Kitt、Tabuchi 和同事揭示了早期转录网络的一个新功能,即维持血清素能连接的成年完整性。选择性失活 Lmx1b/Pet1 转录网络后血清素(5-HT)神经元的轴突和突触形态改变,可能有助于理解衰老和神经退行性过程。
