The paper assesses neuronal and non-neuronal cell turnover in the hippocampus of individuals with alcohol or cocaine abuse compared to healthy controls, finding no significant difference in turnover rates between groups.

The paper shows that MSK-mediated phosphorylation of histone H3 at serine 28 couples MAPK signaling with chromatin remodelling and immediate early gene expression to induce pro-hypertrophic cardiac transcriptional responses.
