    Tau Activation of Microglial cGAS–IFN Reduces MEF2C-Mediated Cognitive Resilience

    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.

    miR-483-5p Offsets Functional and Behavioral Effects of Stress in Male Mice through Synapse-Targeted Repression of Pgap2 in the Basolateral Amygdala

    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.

    The Transcriptional Co-Activator Yap1 Promotes Adult Hippocampal Neural Stem Cell Activation

    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.

    FAM129A Promotes Self-Renewal and Maintains Invasive Status via Stabilizing the Notch Intracellular Domain in Glioma Stem Cells

    Scientists comprehensively evaluated the significance of a novel invasion-related protein, Family with Sequence Similarity 129 Member A (FAM129A), in infiltrative glioma stem cells.

    Octopamine Metabolically Reprograms Astrocytes To Confer Neuroprotection Against α-Synuclein

    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

    Neuro-Mesodermal Assembloids Recapitulate Aspects of Peripheral Nervous System Development In Vitro

    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.

    Amyloid Beta Peptides (Aβ) From Alzheimer’s Disease Neuronal Secretome Induce Endothelial Activation in a Human Cerebral Microvessel Model

    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.

    Identifying Altered Developmental Pathways in Human Globoid Cell Leukodystrophy iPSCs-Derived NSCs Using Transcriptome Profiling

    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.

    Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy Reveals Differential Effect of PM2.5 Exposure on A549 Lung Epithelial and SH-SY5Y Neuroblastoma Cell Membranes

    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.

    FDA Mandates New Safety Warnings for Opioid Pain Medicines

    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.
