    TIM-3 Blockade in Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma Models Promotes Tumor Regression and Antitumor Immune Memory

    The authors demonstrated that the immune checkpoint T cell immunoglobulin mucin-3 (TIM-3) was highly expressed in both tumor cells and microenvironmental cells, mainly microglia and macrophages, in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.

    Laminin-Coated Electronic Scaffolds with Vascular Topography for Tracking and Promoting the Migration of Brain Cells after Injury

    Scientists showed that 32 individually addressable platinum microelectrodes integrated into laminin-coated branched polymer scaffolds stereotaxically injected to span a hydrogel-filled cortical lesion and deeper regions in the brains of mice promoted neural regeneration.

    Abstract

    Subventricular Zone Cytogenesis Provides Trophic Support for Neural Repair in a Mouse Model of Stroke

    The authors characterized the identity of cells arising from the subventricular zone after stroke and uncovered a mechanism through which they facilitated neural repair and functional recovery.

    Single-Cell Profiling and Zebrafish Avatars Reveal LGALS1 As Immunomodulating Target in Glioblastoma

    Scientists used patient-derived glioblastoma (GBM) stem cell cultures and combined single-cell RNA sequencing of GBM-associated macrophages (GAM)-GBM co-cultures and real-time in vivo monitoring of GAM-GBM interactions in orthotopic zebrafish xenograft models.

    Human Presenilin-1 Delivered by AAV9 Rescues Impaired γ-Secretase Activity, Memory Deficits, and Neurodegeneration in Psen Mutant Mice

    The authors reported that introduction of the codon-optimized wild-type human Presenilin (PSEN1) cDNA by adeno-associated virus 9 (AAV9) resulted in broadly distributed, sustained, low to moderate levels of human presenilin 1 expression.

    Notch1 Cortical Signaling Regulates Epithelial Architecture and Cell–Cell Adhesion

    Investigators employed a 3D model of a human ductal epithelium to reveal tissue morphogenic defects result from loss of Notch1, but not Notch1 transcriptional signaling.

    Models for Evaluating Glioblastoma Invasion along White Matter Tracts

    White matter tracts (WMs) are one of the main invasion paths of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The lack of ideal research models hinders the understanding of the details and mechanisms of GBM invasion along WMs.
