Dynamic neuro-immune regulation of psychiatric risk loci in human neurons

Kayla G. Townsley, S. H. Lee, Sarah Williams, Sam Cartwright, Sophie Cohen, Annabel Sen, Meng Jia, Hannah E. Young, Lee Dobbyn, Michael Deans, Meilín Fernández García, Laura M. Huckins, Kristen Brennand

The paper investigates how maternal and fetal immune activation interacts with genetic risk profiles to influence neuronal regulatory activity and psychiatric traits.

An immunocompetent model of MCPyV-driven Merkel cell carcinoma reveals tumor evolution under immune selection

James M. Regan, Xiaomei Li, Mykaela Salvacion, Tiana T. Luo, Meng Jia, Grace Ho, Jonathan R. Xu, Shujing Liu, Zhi Huang, Xiaowei Xu, Jianxin You

This study shows that MCPyV-driven tumors evolve immune-evasive traits under immune pressure, favoring sT over LTT expression, using a mouse model of Merkel cell carcinoma.

Enhanced K Na 1.1 Channel Underlies Cortical Hyperexcitability and Seizure Susceptibility after Traumatic Brain Injury

Ru Liu, Lei Sun, Le Du, Xi Guo, Meng Jia, Qun Wang, Jianping Wu

This study investigates the role of KNa1.1 channel changes in seizure susceptibility after traumatic brain injury, finding enhanced expression and altered distribution contribute to disrupted excitation-inhibition balance.
