New Online! Programmable delivery of mitochondria to specific cell types
Programmable delivery of mitochondria to specific cell types
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, Published online: 09 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41580-026-00986-wIn this Tools of the Trade article, Ayupov (Roska lab) describes the development of MitoCatch, a method to display protein binders on the mitochondrial surface to facilitate cell-type-specific targeting during mitochondrial transplantation.

Gene editing of single, targeted neurons in vivo is now feasible. We are proud to present our preprint for highly efficient single-cell electroporation using RNA. With @alex-fratzl.bsky.social, @munzlab.bsky.social, Botond Roska @iobswiss.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
In vivo single-cell gene editing using RNA electroporation reveals sequential adaptation of cortical neurons to excitatory-inhibitory imbalance
The balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission is fundamental for normal brain function, yet the adaptation of individual neurons to disrupted excitatory-inhibitory balance is not wel...

Single-cell electroporation is performed via patch pipette and under 2-photon visual guidance in vivo. A short voltage pulse train is applied through the pipette to deliver RNA molecules into a targeted cell. The video below shows this process in cortical neurons expressing GCaMP6s.

How do different sensory signals combine in the computation of cognitive maps? I’m thrilled to share our new preprint, in which we investigate this question in the context of the head-direction system: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Joint visual-vestibular computation of head direction and reflexive eye movement
Several cognitive maps have been identified, but what sensory signals drive them and how these are combined are not well understood. One such map, the head-direction representation, is believed to be ...
