| Investigators reported that activation of cyclic GMP–AMP synthase (cGAS) diminished cognitive resilience by decreasing the neuronal transcriptional network of myocyte enhancer factor 2c (MEF2C) through type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling. [Nature Neuroscience] |

|
| Researchers showed that miR-483-5p in the amygdala of male mice counterbalances the structural, functional and behavioral consequences of stress to promote a reduction in anxiety-like behavior. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found the activity of the transcriptional co-activator Yap1 to be enriched in active neural stem cells (NSCs). Genetic deletion of Yap1 led to a significant reduction in the relative proportion of active NSCs, supporting the physiological role of Yap1 in regulating the transition from quiescence to activation.

|
| Scientists comprehensively evaluated the significance of a novel invasion-related protein, Family with Sequence Similarity 129 Member A (FAM129A), in infiltrative glioma stem cells. [Neuro-Oncology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators uncovered a unique function of octopamine in the mammalian brain as a key metabolite diving the switch from protective to toxic astrocytes by harnessing their metabolism toward aerobic glycolysis [Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences Of The United States Of America] |
|
|
|
| Scientists described a novel neuro-mesodermal assembloid model that recapitulated aspects of peripheral nervous system development such as neural crest cell induction, migration, and sensory as well as sympathetic ganglion formation. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mediated endothelial cell activation by studying the effect of amyloid beta peptides secreted from human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cortical neurons harboring a familial AD mutation on human brain microvascular endothelial cells in perfusable microvessels. [Neurobiology Of Disease] |
|
|
|
| Scientists identified gene-expression changes in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and iPSC-derived neural stem cells (NSCs) from a patient with globoid cell leukodystrophy (GLD) and normal control, in order to investigate the potential mechanism underlying GLD pathogenesis. [BMC Genomics] |
|
|
|
| Researchers assessed the membrane topographical and structural effects of PM2.5 from incense PM2.5 exposure in real time on A549 lung carcinoma epithelial cells and SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells that had been fixed to preclude adaptive cell responses. [Analytical And Bioanalytical Chemistry] |
|

|
|
| The authors focus on the association between the brain-based paravascular drainage pathway known as the “glymphatic system” and traumatic brain injury-related neurodegeneration. [Molecular Psychiatry] |

|
| The US FDA will require new safety warnings to be added to labels for opioid pain relievers, including a warning about increased sensitivity to pain. Data suggests patients who use opioids for pain relief after surgery often have leftover tablets, which puts them at risk for addiction and overdose. [Reuters] |
