| Scientists demonstrated two engineering elements to improve human brain organoid culture, including a human brain extracellular matrix to provide brain-specific cues and a microfluidic device with periodic flow to improve the survival and reduce the variability of organoids.

|
| In vitro studies demonstrated that IFP35 and NMI were released by multiple cells. IFP35 and NMI subsequently triggered nuclear factor kappa B–dependent activation of microglia via the TLR4 pathway. [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] |

|
| Researchers found that slowing the activation of K+ current could increase the Na+ influx rate, and the effect of minimizing the overlap between Na+ and K+ currents on spike propagation resilience depended on complex interactions among diameter, myelination, and the Na/K pump density.

|
| Investigators used single-cell transcriptomics to dissect the cell states that emerge during neurogenin 2 (NGN2) overexpression across a time course from pluripotency to neuron functional maturation. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers carried out research to discover a novel alternative drug targeting the oncogenic NFAT signaling pathway for glioblastoma multiforme therapy. [Acta Pharmacologica Sinica] |
|
|
|
| The authors showed that interaction with tumor microenvironment elements, mainly activated monocytes through IL-6 secretion, and the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin, induced the Stat3 transcriptional pathway and upregulated ODZ1 which resulted in glioblastoma cell migration. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists observed that during normal cerebellar development, phosphorylated CREB was selectively expressed in differentiating cerebellar granule neuron progenitor cells. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the effects of Orengedokuto on inflammatory molecule induction in BV-2 microglial cells using real-time RT-PCR and ELISA. [Heliyon] |
|
|
|
| Scientists identified a microRNA that altered related components of the transport machinery to affect brain-derived neurotrophic factor retrograde signaling deficits in Alzheimer’s disease. [nan] |

|
|
| Scientists discuss possible disruptions to axon growth inhibitor signaling by lipid raft-localized receptors, as well as other yet unclear neuronal survival signaling process enhanced by cholesterol lowering or depletion. [Neural Regeneration Research] |

| BioVie Inc. announced that the company has enrolled the first patient into the NM101 Phase III clinical study testing NE3107 for the treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease. [BioVie, Inc. (GlobeNewswire, Inc.)] |
