Parkinson’s disease modeling in regenerative spiny mice (Acomys dimidiatus) captures key disease-relevant behavioral, histological, and molecular signatures
This paper models PD for the first time in a unique regenerative mammalian model, spiny mice, finding that 6-OHDA and αSyn PFFs induce robust pathology.
Adenosine in the brain: recent progress on detection, function and translation
Recent advancements have expanded our understanding of adenosine in the brain, revealing its role in regulating brain circuits for sleep, movement, cognition, and more.
Generation of knock-in Cre and FlpO mouse lines for basal ganglia and dopamine neuron investigation (CODE)
The software contained in this repository was used to analyze the whole-cell electrophysiology recordings of striatal spiny projection neurons and midbrain dopamine neurons.
Extracellular space diffusion modelling identifies distinct functional advantages of archetypical glutamatergic and GABAergic synapse geometries
We modelled extracellular diffusion in super-resolved images of live brain tissue neuropil. We found that extracellular space geometry shapes local diffusion and this has functional implications for signaling arising from synaptic spill-over.

Dephosphorylation of phosphorylated Rab GTPases by PPM phosphatases
Protocol measures phosphoRab GTPase dephosphorylation with PPM phosphatases using purified phosphoRab GTPases. Substrates generated by phosphorylating Rab GTPases with MST3 kinase are included.
Flowcytometry analysis of lysosomal pulldown with anti-TMEM192 magnetic beads from PBMCs
Method described for staining intact lysosomes with lysotracker for flow cytometry. Analysis provides quantitative indication of organelle enrichment in immunoprecipitation, serving as quality control.
Sample Preparation for Proteomic Analysis of Isolated Mitochondria and Whole-Cell Extracts
Protocol outlines precise sample prep for mass spectrometry-based proteomics, emphasizing robust lysis, S-trap column protein capture, and optimized digestion for high-quality data on proteomic changes and post-translational modifications.
Mito-IP: Immunopurification of Mitochondria from MitoTag Cultured Cells
A novel method called 'Mito-IP' enables rapid and pure mitochondrial isolation in 10 minutes, supporting various analyses. This technique is being extended to isolate other organelles like lysosomes, Golgi, and peroxisomes using epitope tags.
GCase assay – Resorufin β-D-glucopyranoside
Method presented for assessing lysosomal enzyme GBA1 activity using Resorufin substrate in low pH conditions to minimize non-lysosomal activity. Validated in GBA1 KO cells, compatible with various lysates and adjustable for different GBA1 levels.
A CellProfiler computational pipeline to quantify localization of PPM1H on mitochondria
CellProfiler software pipeline quantifies PPM1H localization on fragmented mitochondria by hypotonic swelling, highlighting membrane contacts. Wild-type MEFs expressing PPM1H-mApple and GFP-Mito are imaged after treatment with oligomycin/antimycin.
Mouse brain immunohistochemistry – colorimetric analysis
Protocol for colorimetric analysis of mouse brain immunohistochemistry is described.
