    Critical Role of lncEPAT in Coupling Dysregulated EGFR Pathway and Histone H2A Deubiquitination during Glioblastoma Tumorigenesis

    Investigators characterized a previously unidentified oncogenic lncRNA that mediated the integration of dysregulated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway with histone 2A (H2A) deubiquitination in glioblastoma tumorigenesis.

    Development of Opioid-Induced Hyperalgesia Depends on Reactive Astrocytes Controlled by Wnt5a Signaling

    Scientists presented that reactive astrocytes are critical for opioid-induced hyperalgesia development. They discovered Wnt5a was a neuron-to-astrocyte signal required for morphine-induced astrogliosis.

    Targeting Integrin α2 as Potential Strategy for Radiochemosensitization of Glioblastoma

    Investigators addressed the role of adhesion protein integrin α2, which was identified in a high-throughput screen for novel potential targets in glioblastoma cells treated with standard therapy consisting of temozolomide and radiation.

    Abstract

    NRSF/REST Lies at the Intersection between Epigenetic Regulation, miRNA-Mediated Gene Control and Neurodevelopmental Pathways Associated with Intellectual Disability (ID) and Schizophrenia

    Researchers showed that reduced EHMT1 activity decreased NRSF/REST protein, leading to abnormal neuronal gene expression and progression of neurodevelopment in human induced pluripotent stem cells.

    LRRK2 Expression in Normal and Pathologic Human Gut and in Rodent Enteric Neural Cell Lines

    Scientists studied leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) expression in the enteric nervous system and discovered LRRK2 was constitutively expressed in enteric glial cells in both fetal and adult tissues as well.
