Zolboot et al.1 developed tools to manipulate and map microRNA function in cerebellar Purkinje cells with temporal precision, revealing key roles in dendritic development and circuit connectivity. The...

Dr. Ardem Patapoutian says he watches “with deep sadness as the United States’ remarkable scientific enterprise, which took generations of hard work and national investment to build, faces a concerted...

Zolboot et al. introduce DD-T6B and SAP-seq, methods for investigating microRNA function with enhanced spatiotemporal resolution, and identify Purkinje cell-specific microRNAs and targets instructing its unique dendritic arborization and climbing fiber synaptogenesis. Their findings highlight the critical role of post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms and demonstrate the broad applicability of their tools.
