|
| Scientists reported that astrocytes, especially those cultured from the ventral midbrain, showed therapeutic potential to alleviate α-synuclein (α-syn) pathology in multiple in vitro and in vivo α-syn models. [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] |

|
| Using a genetic model of glial cell ablation, the authors found that glial cell loss resulted in transient peripheral nervous system demyelination without overt axonal loss [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists reported that circWDR62 expression was upregulated in Temozolomide (TMZ)-resistant glioma cells and TMZ-resistant glioma cell-derived exosomes compared with their controls by using high-throughput microarray analysis and quantitative real-time PCR. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Investigators used induced pluripotent stem cells derived cortical neuronal cells carrying 3 different PSEN1 mutations, to investigate the effect of treatment with the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, Citalopram on Amyloid-β Precursor Protein (AβPP) processing and oxidative stress. [Translational Psychiatry] |
|
|
|
| Researchers developed an autaptic culture system containing single neuron cultures grown on microislands of astrocytes. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| Scientists demonstrated that the MEK inhibitor, selumetinib, decreased human Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) medulloblastoma growth while extending survival in mouse models. [Communications Biology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers studied the effects of different combinations of miRNAs in glioblastoma cells by delivering synthetic miRNAs using clinically compatible PLGA-PEG nanoparticles prior to treatment with temozolomide or doxorubicin. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reported that uptake alone regulated the levels and signaling activity of the CD44 receptor, decreasing stemness, invasive properties and proliferation of the CD44-tumor initiating cells populations in vitro and in a patient-derived xenograft zebrafish model. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reported methods for culturing adult central nervous system (CNS) neurons in large numbers and across multiple brain regions for extended time periods. [Cell Reports Methods] |
| |
|
|
|
| The authors provide a cross-species view of the behavioral manifestations, proximate and ultimate drives, and neural mechanisms of prosocial behaviors. [Trends in Neurosciences] |

| Impel Pharmaceuticals announced the first subject has been dosed in a Phase IIa proof-of-concept study of INP105, nasal olanzapine, a widely used atypical, second-generation antipsychotic. [Impel Pharmaceuticals] |
