| Researchers found that high-mobility group box 1 (Hmgb1), normally upregulated with injury and involved in adult cerebrovascular repair, was highly expressed in astrocytes at birth and then decreased rapidly. [Nature Communications] |

|
| Investigators identified HDAC2 as the most relevant histone deacetylase for re-organization of chromatin accessibility resulting in maintenance of brain tumor stem cell growth and self-renewal properties. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists interrogated the developing neural transcriptome in two experimental model systems with complementary advantages: isogenic human cortical organoids and isocortex from the 1.6-megabase deletion at chromosome 3q29 mouse model. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| To interrogate the roles of SORL1 in human brain cells, SORL1-null induced pluripotent stem cells were differentiated to neuron, astrocyte, microglial, and endothelial cell fates. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors investigated whether MKP-1 could regulate microglia phenotype and inflammatory factor release in Alzheimer’s disease and explored its possible mechanisms. [CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics] |
|
|
|
| Researchers showed that Dbx2 expression was downregulated by epidermal growth factor receptor signaling, which promoted neural/stem progenitor cells proliferation and decreased in the aged subventricular zone. [Stem Cell Reviews and Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators proposed a novel approach to emulate mild and moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) using human cerebral organoids that undergo strain rates indicative of TBI. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors investigated the utilization of electrospraying process to fabricate minocycline-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles and evaluated their ability to induce cell toxicity in human glioblastoma cells. [Biotechnology And Bioengineering] |
|
|
|
| Researchers developed a functional collagen scaffold by loading SDF-1α and nanoparticle-encapsulated PLGA-paclitaxel (PTX) into a 3D collagen porous scaffold, allowing for slow release of PTX. [Journal Of Biomaterials Science-Polymer Edition] |

|
|
|
| Scientists highlight the importance of HBP/O-GlcNAcylation in the neuronal system and summarize the roles and potential mechanisms of O-GlcNAcylated neuronal proteins in maintaining normal brain function and initiation and progression of neurological diseases.
