|
|
| Scientists reported a human organoid model capable of developing the complex cellular diversity of the fetal cerebellum, including a human-specific rhombic lip progenitor population that have never been generated in vitro prior to this study. [Cell Stem Cell] |

|
| Researchers identified 410 survival-associated IP genes in 33 cancer types using a machine-learning approach. [EMBO Journal] |
|
|
|
| Scientists used in vivo fiber photometry and optogenetics to record from and manipulate ventral pallidum→ventral tegmental area in rats performing a discriminative stimulus task to determine the role these neurons play in invigoration and reinforcement by reward cues. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators established neuronal cell types and generated spinal cord organoids derived from C9orf72 knockdown human iPSCs to model amyotrophic lateral sclerosis disease and screen the unrevealed phenotype. [Molecular Neurobiology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists sought to shed light on the repercussions of prolonged exposure to heated tobacco products on the central nervous system, employing a mouse model mimicking prodromal Alzheimer’s disease. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers monitored the long- and short-term effects of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling regulation on cerebral organoid growth, differentiation, and function using an mTOR inhibitor and an mTOR activator. [Tissue Engineering And Regenerative Medicine] |

|
|
| Scientists investigated the ability of M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor to modulate cell migration in two different glioblastoma cell lines: U87 and U251. [Neurochemistry International] |
|

|
| The authors review the ability of ARHGAP11B to amplify basal progenitors and to expand a primate neocortex and discuss the contribution of ARHGAP11B to neocortex expansion during human evolution. [Journal of Comparative Neurology] |
