|
| Using intracranial injections in mice and assembloids between small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) aggregates and human cortical organoids in culture, the authors found that SCLC cells recruited reactive astrocytes to the tumor microenvironment. [Nature Cell Biology] |

|
| Upon examining chitinase-3–like protein 1 (CHI3L1)’s biological function in neuroinflammation, researchers found that CHI3L1 expression correlated with cognitive impairment in a neuromyelitis optica patient cohort. [Science Advances] |

|
| Infant medulloblastoma-bearing Math1-cre::Ptch1 Fl/Fl mice were treated with intraventricular Vismodegib in order to evaluate efficacy on tumor growth and systemic side effects. [Neuro-Oncology] |

|
| Investigators developed a screening platform, ATRIVIEW®, for molecules that activate neuronal differentiation of adult mouse NSCs. [Experimental & Molecular Medicine] |

|
| The authors investigated the mechanism of protein phosphatase Mg2+/Mn2+ dependent 1 K (PPM1K) mediated metabolic disorder of branched-chain amino acids by promoting fatty acid oxidation led to ferroptosis after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. [Cell Death & Disease] |

|
|
| Investigators used patient-derived, typically resistant, glioma stem-like cells in combination with the previously validated preclinical Inovitro™ TTFields system together with a number of therapeutic DNA damage response inhibitors. [British Journal of Cancer] |

|
| Scientists evaluated the anti-tumor effect of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells in 26 glioma cases through the patient-derived tumor cell clusters model. [Journal of Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the role of myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9) in glioma and determined whether MYH9 was involved in the temozolomide chemoresistance of glioma cells. [Cancer Cell International] |
