    Abstract Measuring the membrane potential dynamics of neurons offers a comprehensive understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that form their spiking activity, thus playing a crucial role in unraveling the mechanistic processes governing brain function. Techniques for intracellular recordings of membrane potentials pioneered in the 1940s have witnessed significant advancements since their inception. Among these, whole-cell patch-clamp recording has emerged as a leading method for measuring neuronal membrane potentials due to its high stability and broad applicability ranging from cultured cells to brain slices and even behaving animals. This chapter provides a detailed protocol to acquire stable whole-cell recordings from neurons in the cerebral cortex of awake, head-restrained mice. Significant enhancements to our protocol include implanting a metal head-post using adhesive resin cement and preparing a recording pipette with a long shank for targeting deeper brain regions. This protocol, once implemented, enables whole-cell recordings up to 2.5 mM beneath the cortical surface.

    Abstract Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive bone marrow failure, increased susceptibility to leukemia and cancer, and genomic instabilities. Protein products encoded by 22 FA genes, identified till date, cooperate in a molecular pathway called the FA pathway to repair DNA interstrand cross-links induced by chemotherapeutic agents, such as mitomycin C and cisplatin. An accumulating number of studies have shown several new functional aspects of the FA pathway, particularly in the context of the pathogenesis of bone marrow failure. This review focuses on the following topics: (1) aldehydes as intrinsic interstrand cross-linkers; (2) cytokine-induced hematopoietic stress; (3) increased transforming growth factor-β signaling; (4) mitochondrial functions of FA proteins. These findings are expected to offer new therapeutic opportunities for bone marrow failure in FA.

    Abstract This study aimed to assess the feasibility of a skin marker-less patient setup using a surface-guided radiotherapy (SGRT) system for extremity radiotherapy. Twenty-five patients who underwent radiotherapy to the extremities were included in this retrospective study. The first group consisted of 10 patients and underwent a traditional setup procedure using skin marks and lasers. The second group comprised 15 patients and had a skin marker-less setup procedure that used an SGRT system only. To compare the two setup procedures for setup accuracy, the mean 3D vector shift magnitude was 0.9 mm for the traditional setup procedure and 0.5 mm for the skin marker-less setup procedure (p < 0.01). In addition, SGRT systems have been suggested to improve the accuracy and reproducibility of patient setups and consistently reduce interfractional setup errors. These results indicate that a skin marker-less patient setup procedure using an SGRT system is useful for extremity irradiation.

    Abstract Microbial rhodopsins widely used for optogenetics are sensitive to light in the visible spectrum. As visible light is heavily scattered and absorbed by tissue, stimulating light for optogenetic control does not reach deep in the tissue irradiated from outside the subject body. Conventional optogenetics employs fiber optics inserted close to the target, which is highly invasive and poses various problems for researchers. Recent advances in material science integrated with neuroscience have enabled remote optogenetic control of neuronal activities in living animals using up- or down-conversion phosphors. The development of these methodologies has stimulated researchers to test novel strategies for less invasive, wireless control of cellular functions in the brain and other tissues. Here, we review recent reports related to these new technologies and discuss the current limitations and future perspectives toward the establishment of non-invasive optogenetics for clinical applications.
