    Complementary cognitive roles for D2-MSNs and D1-MSNs during interval timing

    Robert A Bruce, Matthew Weber ... Kumar Narayanan
    Dorsomedial D2-MSNs and D1-MSNs exhibit opposing dynamics during interval timing, however disrupting either MSN type produces similar effects on behavior, highlighting the complementary roles of striatal pathways in cognitive operations.

    Endocytic recycling is central to circadian collagen fibrillogenesis and disrupted in fibrosis

    Joan Chang, Adam Pickard ... Karl E Kadler
    Secretion and fibrillogenesis of collagen-I are separately controlled molecular pathways in the fibroblast, where surprisingly endocytic recycling is required for fibril formation and is increased in fibrotic fibroblasts.
