Neural Cell News is an online publication to help scientists keep pace with the latest research, reviews, and industry developments in neuroscience. Specific research topics include neural development and neuroregeneration, neural signaling related to cellular responses and behavior, and synaptic plasticity. Research into the diagnosis, progression, cellular characteristics, and treatment of brain diseases such as Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and various brain cancers, as well as brain damage resulting from infection, trauma, stroke, seizures, and tumors, is also covered.

Mapping Molecular Subtype Specific Alterations in Breast Cancer Brain Metastases Identifies Clinically Relevant Vulnerabilities

The authors comprehensively dissected genomic, transcriptomic and clinical data in patient-matched longitudinal tumor samples, and unraveled distinct transcriptional programs enriched in brain metastasis.

Selective Translation of Epigenetic Modifiers Affects the Temporal Pattern and Differentiation of Neural Stem Cells

Scientists found that depletion of Fbl, an rRNA methyltransferase, reduced translation of both Ezh2 methyltransferase and Kdm6b demethylase of H3 trimethylation in Lys27 and delayed the progression of the neural stem cell state.

Antisense Oligonucleotides as a Potential Treatment for Brain Deficits Observed in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1

The authors indicated that the IONIS 486178 antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) targeted mutant DMPK mRNAs in the brain and strongly supported the feasibility of a therapy for dystrophia myotonica type 1 patients based on the intrathecal injection of an ASO.

Tau Interactome Maps Synaptic and Mitochondrial Processes Associated with Neurodegeneration

Researchers showed that frontotemporal dementia mutations impaired bioenergetics and markedly diminished Tau’s interaction with mitochondria proteins, which were downregulated in Alzheimer disease brains of multiple cohorts and correlated with disease severity.

Identification and Functional Characterization of CD133+GFAP+CD117+Sca1+ Neural Stem Cells

C57BL/6 mice were used to isolate and identify CD133+GFAP+CD117+Sca1+ cells in the hippocampal dentate gyrus region of the mouse brain as a novel neural stem cell population, in terms of cell phenotype, self-renewal capacity, and differentiation capability.
