|
|
| Co-culture assays followed by Cell Counting Kit-8, migration, Matrigel tube formation, and sprouting assays were conducted to assess the proliferative, migratory, and angiogenic capacity of glioblastoma multiforme cells and human brain microvascular endothelial cells. [Molecular Psychiatry] |
|
|
|
| Researchers reported that in both stem cell-derived human neurons as well as in vivo mouse neurons of purely glutamatergic identity, ectopic expression of GABA-synthesis enzymes and vesicular transporters were sufficient to both produce GABA from ambient glutamate and transmit it from presynaptic terminals. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| The authors reported that pharmacologic targeting of methyltransferase-like 3 augmented anti-tumor efficacy of platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGF) and mitophagy inhibitors in vitro and in vivo. [Developmental Cell] |
|
|
|
| Glioblastoma-associated microglia M2 polarization was constructed, and microglia-derived exosomes were isolated to co-culture with human brain microvessel endothelial cells. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| Researchers presented a microfluidic model of vascularized glioblastoma featuring a tumor spheroid in direct contact with self-assembled vascular networks comprising human endothelial cells, astrocytes, and pericytes.

|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the effects associated with snail family transcriptional repressor 2 (SNAI2) on the proliferation of glioma stem cells to elucidate its underlying molecular mechanism in the development of glioma. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reported that inhibitors of apoptosis, necroptosis, and ferroptosis exhibited marked retinal ganglion cells (RGC) protection against ischemia reperfusion both in mice and primary cultured RGCs. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Scientists reported that patient-derived motoneurons and ganglioside-induced differentiation-associated protein 1 (GDAP1) knockdown SH-SY5Y cells displayed two phenotypes: more tubular mitochondria and a metabolism characterized by glutamine dependence and fewer cytosolic lipid droplets. [Communications Biology] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors discuss recent advances in induced pluripotent stem cell technology that have made it possible to generate patient-derived dopaminergic neuronal cell culture and organoid models of Parkinson’s disease. [Trends in Neurosciences] |
|
|
|
| Scientists provide an updated overview of the recent discoveries and advancements on mitophagic molecular dysfunctions in Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-derived fluids and cells as well as in AD brains. [Molecular Psychiatry] |

|
| Albert Einstein College of Medicine researchers have been awarded a five-year, $3.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to study the effects of COVID-19 on the brains of adults who had mild or asymptomatic infection. [Albert Einstein College of Medicine] |
