Junctional Nanodomains Organised by Extended Synaptotagmin-1 Underlie Inflammatory Signalling in Sensory Neurons

Char Palfrey, James Grayston, Xiaoding Zhang, Yiting Gao, Sofia Figoli, Lilly Dougherty, Zhezhuyun Chen, Vincenzo Prato, Frederick Jones, Stephen W. Milne, Haxia Gao, Mark S. Shapiro, Nikita L. Gamper, Shihab Shah

This study identifies Esyt1 as a scaffold organizing ER-PM nanodomains that regulate inflammatory pain signaling through Ca2+-dependent interactions.

Axonal plasticity in response to active forces generated through magnetic nano-pulling

Alessandro Falconieri, Sara De Vincentiis, Valentina Cappello, Domenica Convertino, Ravi Das, Samuele Ghignoli, Sofia Figoli, Stefano Luin, Frederic Català-Castro, Laura Marchetti, Ugo Borello, Michael Krieg, Vittoria Raffa

This study shows that magnetic nano-pulling induces axonal cytoskeleton remodeling, enhancing outgrowth and synapse maturation through microtubule density increase and local translation promotion.
