| Researchers revealed previously unknown links between neuroinflammatory astrocytes and inflamed cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) endothelium as contributors that trigger leukocyte recruitment and precipitate immunothrombosis in CCM lesions. [Circulation Research] |

|
| Investigators generated human knockin neurons with the NLGN3 R451C and NLGN3 null mutations. Moreover, overexpression of NLGN3 R451C recapitulated the synaptic enhancement in human neurons. [Molecular Psychiatry] |
|
|
|
| Investigators identified calmodulin-dependent kinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2) as a driver of immune checkpoint blockade resistance. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| The authors elucidated an extracellular vesicles-mediated transfer of suprabasin (SBSN), leading to the aggressiveness and progression of glioma. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Scientists demonstrated that, during the time course of maturation, human neurons installed a complex and complementary anti-apoptotic signaling network. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Researchers determined that the most abundantly expressed anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members, Bcl-xL and Mcl-1, were the most relevant in regulating patient-derived glioma stem cell survival. [Scientific Reports] |
| | |
|
|
| Scientists focus on the role of astrocytes in disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. [Nature Reviews Neuroscience] |
|
|
|
| The authors discuss how dysregulation of key astrocyte functions — gliotransmission, cell metabolism, and immune function — contribute to the development and progression of hyperexcitability in epilepsy. [Nature Reviews Neurology] |

| Two of America’s biggest pharmacies have agreed to pay more than $10bn to resolve thousands of lawsuits over their roles in the US opioid crisis. The proposed deals with CVS and Walgreens mark the latest chapter of a long legal saga, in which firms have faced claims they helped drive the abuse of addictive painkillers. [BBC News] |
