| Scientists demonstrated that whole-brain colonization was fueled by glioblastoma cells that lacked connections with other tumor cells and astrocytes yet received synaptic input from neurons. [Cell] |

|
| Investigators demonstrated a new tumor-suppressive function of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in EGFR-amplified glioblastomas regulated by EGFR ligands. [Nature Cell Biology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists showed that ORMDL binding to the holoenzyme complex was impaired in cells expressing pathogenic SPTLC1-ALS alleles, resulting in increased sphingolipid synthesis and a distinct lipid signature. [Journal of Clinical Investigation] |
|
|
|
| It was found that SDC1 and TGM2 proteins were overexpressed in radioresistant glioblastoma cells and tissues and they contributed to the poor prognosis of radiotherapy. [Autophagy] |
|
|
|
| Researchers developed in vitro assays to analyze the motility of heterodimeric motors composed of wild-type and mutant KIF1A. [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] |
|
|
|
| Scientists used patient-derived glioma stem cells and human glial cells to create a four-component 3D model of this environment informed by resected patient tumors. [npj Precision Oncology] |
|
|
|
| Using the freeze-drying technique, porous 3D composite scaffolds consisting of poly (3,4-ethylene-dioxythiophene) doped with polystyrene sulfonate, containing extracellular matrix (ECM) components were engineered for hosting neuronal cells. [Advanced Healthcare Materials] |
|
|
|
| The authors showed that female cells were more sensitive to radiation, and that senescence represented a major component of the radiation therapeutic response in both sexes. [Communications Biology] |
|
|
|
| Using an integrated approach that includes proteomics, transcriptomics and metabolic profiling, scientists identified praja2, a RING E3 ubiquitin ligase, as the key component of a signaling network that regulates glioblastoma cell growth and metabolism. [Communications Biology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers characterized CD95 and CD95L expression in human glioma-initiating cells, a glioblastoma cell population with stem cell features, and investigated the consequences of CRISPR-Cas9-mediated CD95 or CD95L gene deletion. [Cell Death Discovery] |
| |
|
|
|
| Investigators discuss the functional roles of these genes in synaptogenesis and synaptic functions under physiological conditions, and how their functions are dysregulated in Alzheimer’s disease. [Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology] |

|
| The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation announced the winners of its 2022 Klerman and Freedman Prizes, recognizing exceptional clinical and basic research in mental illness. [Brain & Behavior Research Foundation] |
