|
| Scientists performed extensive multiomic analyses to identify an OTX2 regulatory network that controlled Group 3 medulloblastoma cell fate. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Researchers demonstrated that a label-free and noninvasive single-cell Raman microspectroscopy platform was able to identify neural cell lineages derived from clinically relevant human induced pluripotent stem cells. [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] |

|
|
| Investigators elucidated a MYC-miRNA-MXI1 feedback loop that regulates proliferation and tumorigenesis in glioma. [Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Researchers explored the mechanisms underlying axon growth in three dimensions. They found that CNS neurons used amoeboid mechanisms to drive axon growth. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors identified distinct transcript changes in individual Piezo2-expressing mechanosensitive dorsal root ganglia neurons by combining electrophysiology with single-cell RNA sequencing. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers showed that hippocampal cells contained a diverse collection of over 70 CaMKII transcripts from all four CaMKII-encoding genes. [Science Signaling] |
|
|
|
| The authors developed a weakly supervised deep learning segmentation approach of fluorescence nanoscopy images of F-actin in cultured hippocampal neurons. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the role of the developmental mitogen sonic hedgehog in initiating carcinogenesis in the cells of origin: granule cell progenitors [Nature Cancer] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors describe how satellite glial cells are altered in rodent models of four common types of pain: systemic inflammation, post-surgical pain, diabetic neuropathic pain and post-herpetic pain. [Nature Reviews Neuroscience] |
