    Human TKTL1 Implies Greater Neurogenesis in Frontal Neocortex of Modern Humans than Neanderthals

    Knockout in fetal human neocortical tissue, and genome-edited cerebral organoids, scientists found that the modern human variant, human Transketolase-like 1 (TKTL1), but not the Neanderthal variant, increases the abundance of basal radial glia but not that of intermediate progenitors

    Inhibition of FKBP51 Induces Stress Resilience and Alters Hippocampal Neurogenesis

    Researchers investigated whether inhibition of FKBP51 with SAFit2, a novel selective inhibitor, promotes hippocampal neuron outgrowth and neurogenesis in vitro and stress resilience in vivo, in a mouse model of chronic psychosocial stress.

    Exploring the Inverse Association of Glioblastoma Multiforme and Alzheimer’s Disease via Bioinformatics Analysis

    Researchers identified 122 differentially expressed genes of Alzheimer’s disease and glioblastoma multiforme. Four significant gene modules were identified through protein–protein interaction and module construction, and 13 hub genes were found using cytoHubba.
