|
| Researchers showed that the nuclear lamina protein lamin B1 was downregulated with age in mouse hippocampal neural stem cells, whereas protein levels of SUN-domain containing protein 1, previously implicated in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, increased. [Cell Stem Cell] |

|
|
| Analyses revealed that both pan-Sorting nexin-19 (SNX19) and pan-Arsenic methyltransferase (AS3MT) were more highly expressed in neurons than non-neurons in layers II/III and VI of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. [Molecular Psychiatry] |
|
|
|
| Loss of NPC1 triggered enhanced phagocytic uptake and impaired myelin turnover in microglia that precede neuronal death. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| The authors report that exon junction complexes accumulated at basal bodies of mouse neural stem cells or retinal pigment epithelial cells and declined when these cells differentiated or resumed growth. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Researchers developed a cellular model of Bardet-Biedl Syndrome using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSCs)-derived hypothalamic arcuate-like neurons. [Journal of Clinical Investigation] |
|
|
|
| Using CRISPR/Cas9‐based gene disruption of the epigenetic co‐repressor protein Trim28, scientists found a dynamic H3K9me3‐dependent regulation of endogenous retroviruses in proliferating neural progenitor cells, but not in adult neurons. [EMBO Journal] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the antitumor effect of cannabidiol in preclinical models of human glioma. [Autophagy] |
|
|
|
| Investigators showed that loss of neuronal autophagy facilitated presynaptic neurotransmission by controlling the axonal endoplasmic reticulum and, thereby, axonal and synaptic calcium homeostasis. [Autophagy] |
|
|
|
| To determine whether temporal gene expression in neural progenitors correlates with neuron type specification, the authors performed a single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of the developing mouse neocortex. [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] |
|
|
|
| Suppression of 40 genes using viral-driven short hairpin RNAs promoted retinal ganglion cell axon regeneration after optic nerve crush, and most were validated by separate CRISPR-Cas9 editing experiments. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Synaptotagmin-like 3-knockout caused an abnormal distribution of deep-layer neurons in brain organoids and reduced presynaptic neurotransmitter release in human embryonic stem cell-derived neurons. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Effects of drug combinations on cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, and colony forming were assessed in a panel of neuroblastoma cell lines. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
|
| Scientists describe how the immune system relays information to the nervous system and how cytokine signaling occurs in neurons. [Nature Reviews Immunology] |
|
|
|
| The authors review current knowledge of how levels of neurogenesis are regulated, discuss findings regarding survival and maturation of adult-born cells and describe how newborn neurons affect brain function. [Nature Reviews Neuroscience] |
|
|
|
| Investigators explore reactive microglial dysregulation of neural circuit structure and function following cancer therapy. [Trends in Neurosciences] |

| Orbus Therapeutics, Inc. announced a positive outcome of the pre-planned interim analysis for futility in its Phase III STELLAR clinical study of eflornithine in patients with recurrent anaplastic astrocytoma. [Orbus Therapeutics, Inc.] |
|
|
|
| BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc. announced an update to its BXCL501 dementia program, including clinical updates and the scheduling of its end of Phase II meeting with the FDA. [BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc.] |
