    Aberrant Astrocyte Protein Secretion Contributes to Altered Neuronal Development in Multiple Models of Neurodevelopmental Disorders

    Scientists developed a cell culture system to ask how astrocyte protein secretion and gene expression change in three mouse models of genetic neurodevelopmental disorders.

    ATRX Histone Binding and Helicase Activities Have Distinct Roles in Neuronal Differentiation

    ATRX PHD finger (PHDmut) and K1584R proteins interacted with the DAXX histone chaperone but show reduced localization to pericentromeres. Neurodifferentiation was both delayed and compromised in PHDmut and K1584R, and manifested differently from complete ATRX loss.

    Autolysosomal Acidification Failure as a Primary Driver of Alzheimer Disease Pathogenesis

    The authors developed an integrated bioinformatics and experimental pipeline that enabled multiplex measurement of transduction efficiency and specificity, particularly by measuring how libraries of delivery vectors transduced libraries of diverse cell types.

    Alpha Synuclein Determines Ferroptosis Sensitivity in Dopaminergic Neurons via Modulation of Ether-Phospholipid Membrane Composition

    Researchers used two highly relevant human dopaminergic neuronal models to show that endogenous levels of α-synuclein could determine the sensitivity of dopaminergic neurons to ferroptosis.

    The APP Intracellular Domain Promotes LRRK2 Expression To Enable Feed-Forward Neurodegenerative Mechanisms in Parkinson’s Disease

    Using cultured neurons and brain tissue from mouse models of Parkinson’s Disease (PD), the authors demonstrated that leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2)-mediated phosphorylation of β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) increased the abundance and activity of the APP intracellular domain that then directly mediated LRRK2 transcription.

    Multiplex Viral Tropism Assay in Complex Cell Populations with Single-Cell Resolution

    Scientists developed an integrated bioinformatics and experimental pipeline that enabled multiplex measurement of transduction efficiency and specificity, particularly by measuring how libraries of delivery vectors transduced libraries of diverse cell types.

    Fat3 Regulates Neural Progenitor Cells by Promoting Yap Activity During Spinal Cord Development

    Scientists showed that deletion of Fat3 gene in mouse neural tube depleted neural progenitors, accompanied by neuronal gene expression in the ventral ventricular zone of the spinal cord.

    Thymol Has Anticancer Effects in U-87 Human Malignant Glioblastoma Cells

    Investigators reported that thymol treatment increased the expression of Bax and p53, and also increased apoptotic cell death, and excessive generation of reactive oxygen species in human malignant glioblastoma cells.

    Microglial TYROBP/DAP12 in Alzheimer’s Disease: Transduction of Physiological and Pathological Signals Across TREM2

    In addition to reviewing the structure and localization of TYROBP, the authors discuss their recent progress using mouse models of either cerebral amyloidosis or tauopathy that were engineered to be TYROBP-deficient or TYROBP-overexpressing.
