    Molecular Basis of FAAH-OUT-Associated Human Pain Insensitivity

    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.

    Cerebral Organoids Transplantation Repairs Infarcted Cortex and Restores Impaired Function After Stroke

    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.

    The DRD2 Antagonist Haloperidol Mediates Autophagy-Induced Ferroptosis To Increase Temozolomide Sensitivity by Promoting Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Glioblastoma

    Researchers determined a critical drug that caused ferroptosis in glioblastoma cells and elucidated the possible mechanism by which drug combinations overcame chemoresistance.

    Abstract

    Oligodendrocytes in Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cortical Grafts Remyelinate Adult Rat and Human Cortical Neurons

    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.

    TREM2 Expression on the Microglia Resolved Lead Exposure-Induced Neuroinflammation by Promoting Anti-Inflammatory Activities

    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.

    TIPE2 Regulates the Response of BV2 Cells to Lipopolysaccharide by the Crosstalk Between PI3K/AKT Signaling and Microglia M1/M2 Polarization

    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.

    Abstract

    P2X7 Receptor Antagonism by AZ10606120 Significantly Reduced In Vitro Tumour Growth in Human Glioblastoma

    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.

    Combination of B7H6-siRNA and Temozolomide Synergistically Reduces Stemness and Migration Properties of Glioblastoma Cancer Cells

    Investigators studied the potential role and molecular mechanism of the combination therapy of B7H6-siRNA and temozolomide in glioblastoma cancer.

    Abstract

    Biochemical Mechanism of Erastin-Induced Ferroptotic Cell Death in Neuronal Cells

    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.

    REVIEWS

    Applications of Organoid Technology to Brain Tumors

    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.
