| Researchers reported how the recently discovered brain and dorsal root ganglia-expressed fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH)-OUT long non-coding RNA gene regulated the adjacent key endocannabinoid system gene FAAH, which encoded the anandamide-degrading FAAH enzyme. [Brain] |

|
| Scientists cultured human cerebral organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells and transplanted them into the junction of the infarct core and the peri-infarct zone of non-obese diabetes-severe combined immunodeficiency (NOD-SCID) mice subjected to stroke. [NPJ Regenerative Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Researchers determined a critical drug that caused ferroptosis in glioblastoma cells and elucidated the possible mechanism by which drug combinations overcame chemoresistance. [Clinical Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Scientists demonstrated the in vitro and in vivo production of myelinating oligodendrocytes from a human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived long-term neuroepithelial stem cell line, which also gave rise to neurons with the capacity to integrate into stroke-injured, adult rat cortical networks. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators showed that lead treatment significantly downregulated triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) expression and altered the localization of TREM2 expression in microglia. [Ecotoxicology And Environmental Safety] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the role and molecular mechanism of tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like 2 (TIPE2) using a lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory injury model in BV2 cells. [International Immunopharmacology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists reported a trophic, tumor-promoting role of P2X7R activation in both patient-derived primary glioblastoma cultures and the U251 human glioblastoma cell line, and demonstrated its inhibition reduced tumor growth in vitro. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators studied the potential role and molecular mechanism of the combination therapy of B7H6-siRNA and temozolomide in glioblastoma cancer. [Experimental Cell Research] |
|
|
|
| Using immortalized HT22 mouse hippocampal neuronal cells as a model, scientists showed that nitric oxide accumulation via protein disulfide isomerase-mediated neuronal nitric oxide synthase activation plays a critical role in chemically-induced ferroptosis.

|
| The authors compare brain tumor organoids (BTO) with common models including cell lines, tumor spheroids, and patient-derived xenografts. They conclude BTOs could be a reliable model to understand brain tumors and develop targeted therapies. [CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics] |

|
| By merging with a blank check company, Anew Medical plans to land a Nasdaq listing and $54 million in cash to fund the development of its neurodegenerative disease gene therapies, provided investors do not pull their money before the deal closes. [Fierce Biotech] |
