Neuroligin 1, D2-MSNs, and Repetitive Behavior
2026-08-17
This study identifies striatal dopamine D2 receptor-expressing medium spiny neurons as a cell-type-specific circuit component associated with autistic-like repetitive behaviors after Neuroligin 1 loss. By combining behavioral analysis, neuronal activity manipulation, single-nucleus RNA sequencing, and protein validation, the authors link D2-MSN hyperactivity and excessive PKC signaling to repetitive self-grooming and digging.

Tirbanibulin in HPV-Positive HeLa Cells
2026-08-16
This 2024 study shows that tirbanibulin suppresses proliferation of HPV-18-containing HeLa cells while reducing protein expression across Src–MEK-associated, cell-cycle, invasion, and survival pathways. Its integrated immunoblotting approach provides a mechanistic framework for understanding how an approved actinic keratosis treatment may also affect HPV-associated oncogenic signaling, while leaving direct antiviral and clinical efficacy questions unresolved.
