| Investigators identified interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) as a γ-secretase modulatory protein, and established a mechanism by which inflammation affected the generation of amyloid-β. [Nature] |

|
| Researchers report the role of endogenous neuropeptide cholecystokinin (CCK), released from dentate CCK interneurons, in regulating neurogenic niche cells and neural stem cells. [Neuron] |
|
|
|
| Macrophage receptor with collagenous structurehigh TAMs induced a phenotypic shift towards mesenchymal cellular state of glioma stem cells, promoting both invasive and proliferative activities, as well as therapeutic resistance to irradiation. [Genome Biology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the expression and cellular localization of Musashi (MSI)1 and MSI2 in the brain tissues of Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| The authors report that developmental anoikis distinguished the pathological detachment of progenitor cells from the normal delamination of daughter neuroblasts in the developing mouse neocortex. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Expressed in specific regions of the human developing and adult brain, ZNF417/587 kept controlling transposable element-embedded regulatory sequences in embryonic stem cells-derived neurons and brain organoids. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| Scientists showed that a Düsseldorf isolate of SARS‐CoV‐2 entered 3D human brain organoids within two days of exposure. They identified that SARS‐CoV‐2 preferably targeted neurons of brain organoids. [EMBO Journal] |
|
|
|
| Researchers report that age-related loss of the posttranslational modification, O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine, in neural stem cells promoted a glial fate switch. [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] |

|
|
| In isocitrate dehydrogenase 1-mutant glioma cells, the elevated 24(S)-hydroxycholesterol activated liver X receptors, which consequently accelerated the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) degradation by upregulating the inducible degrader of the LDLR. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| The authors reveal an important role for astrocytes in Parkinson’s disease pathology and highlight the potential of iPSC-derived cells in disease modeling and drug discovery. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
|
| Researchers describe experimental preparations and methods for recording and studying Ca2+ activity in astrocytes, focusing on the analysis of Ca2+ signalling events in single astrocytes and in astrocytic networks. [Nature Reviews Neuroscience] |
|
|
|
| Scientists summarize the current understanding of the crucial role of δ-secretase in driving and spreading Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathologies by cleaving multiple critical players, including APP and Tau, supporting that blockade of δ-secretase may provide an innovative disease-modifying therapeutic strategy for treating AD. [Experimental and Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| The authors summarize some of the epigenetic pathways that have been shown to be active in three different primary brain tumors, glioblastoma, medulloblastoma, and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. [Neurobiology of Disease] |
