Endocannabinoids disinhibit the ventral tegmental nucleus of Gudden to dorsal premammillary nucleus pathway to enhance escape behavior following learned threat experience

Neural mechanisms underlying strengthening of escape behaviors are not fully understood. Here authors show that mPFC (medial prefrontal cortex)/VTg (ventral tegmental nucleus of gudden) to cholecystokinin expressing neurons in PMd (dorsal premammillary nucleus) neural pathway controls the threat memory-driven strengthening of escape. Furthermore, authors demonstrate a heterosynaptic role of eCB (endocannabinoid) signaling as the underlying molecular mechanism.

Why models underestimate West African tropical forest primary productivity

This study finds that vegetation models commonly underestimate the productivity of West African forests, owing to bias in fractional absorbed photosynthetic radiation (fAPAR) and leaf level photosynthetic capacities.

Mesenchymal stromal cells alleviate depressive and anxiety-like behaviors via a lung vagal-to-brain axis in male mice

Major depressive disorder is a major public health problem. Here, the authors illustrate that mesenchymal stromal cells exert antidepressant and anxiolytic effects through a pulmonary vagal→ nucleus tractus solitarius → 5-HT dorsal raphe nucleus neural pathway in murine depression models.

Rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective and diastereodivergent access to diaxially chiral heterocycles

Molecules with axial chirality are of intense focus to the synthetic organic community, but the axes most commonly explored are carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom. Here the authors report the syntheses of diaxially chiral biaryls containing N-N and C-N/C-C axes, achieved via rhodium catalysis.

Arctigenin attenuates diabetic kidney disease through the activation of PP2A in podocytes

Arctigenin (ATG) is the major active component of a Chinese herbal remedy known to reduce proteinuria in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Here, Zhong et al. identify PP2A as a pharmacological target of ATG in podocytes, and find that PP2A is responsible for some of the beneficial effects of ATG in mouse models of DKD.
