|
| Researchers showed that initiating neural induction in a temporal stepwise gradient guided the generation of brain organoids composed of a single, self-organized apical-out neuroepithelium. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists found increased expression of the C16:0 ceramide-producing ceramide synthase (CerS)6 in cultured hypothalamic neurons exposed to palmitate in vitro and in the hypothalamus of obese mice. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Investigators showed that the PTENG132D allele disrupted early neuroectoderm formation during the first several days of organoid generation, and results in deficient electrophysiology. [Molecular Psychiatry] |
|
|
|
| The authors found that HECW1 decreased the survival rate of glioma cells and enhanced iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, whereas ZNF350 showed the opposite effect. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Researchers developed a novel technique for creating self-assembled nanoparticles utilizing a range of natural bioactive molecules. These nanoparticles could encapsulate insoluble drugs and effectively cross the blood–brain barrier. [CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics] |
|
|
|
| The authors reported using human tumor specimens and primary spheroids from male and female patients that GlialCAM, was differentially expressed in subpopulations of glioblastoma cells. [Journal Of Neuroscience] |
|
|
|
| Using multicolor two-photon microscopy, scientists tested how amyloid pathology altered the structural dynamics of excitatory and inhibitory synapses and their adaptation to altered visual experience in vivo in the visual cortex. [Journal Of Neuroscience] |
|
|
|
| Researchers described a method for generating functional neural spheroids by cell-aggregation of differentiated human iPSC-derived neurons and astrocytes at cell type compositions mimicking specific regions of the human brain. [Communications Biology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators studied the coassembly of the ganglioside GM1 and the amyloid β (Aβ) peptides Aβ40 and 42 by means of microfluidic diffusional sizing, confocal microscopy, and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy. [ACS Chemical Neuroscience] |
|
|
|
| The authors explored the possibility of inducing aging-associated features in cell types of the central nervous system using hiPSC technology. [Biogerontology] |
| |
|
|
|
| Investigators discuss recent advances in understanding the molecular and cellular pathways that impair synapses in neurodegenerative diseases, including the effects of protein aggregation and neuroinflammation. [Nature Reviews Drug Discovery] |
|
|
|
|
| The NIH has paused the start of a major human trial of an experimental drug aimed at protecting the brain after a stroke and launched an investigation into recently aired concerns about the drug’s safety and whether lab studies supporting its promise contain manipulated images and data.
