    Complex Activity and Short-Term Plasticity of Human Cerebral Organoids Reciprocally Connected with Axons

    To understand the mechanistic significance of inter-regional projections on development of neural circuits, the authors investigated an in vitro neural tissue model for inter-regional connections, in which two cerebral organoids were connected with a bundle of reciprocally extended axons.

    IFI35 Regulates Non-Canonical NF-κB Signaling to Maintain Glioblastoma Stem Cells and Recruit Tumor-Associated Macrophages

    Scientists identified that IFI35, a transcriptional regulatory factor, played both cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic roles in maintaining glioma stem cells and the immunosuppressive tumor microenviroment.

    Abstract

    Microtubule Polarity Determines the Lineage of Embryonic Neural Precursor in Zebrafish Spinal Cord

    Investigators found two distinct pools of neural precursors based on Sara endosome inheritance and spindle-microtubule enrichment. Symmetric or asymmetric levels of spindle-microtubules drove differently Sara endosomes inheritance and predicted neural precursor lineage.

    Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Selective Vulnerability in Neurodegenerative Diseases

    Investigators highlight how recent methodological innovations — including single-cell transcriptomics, CRISPR-based screens, and human cell-based models of disease — are enabling new breakthroughs in our understanding of selective vulnerability.
    [Nature Reviews Neuroscience]

    Abstract

    Immunological Aspects of Central Neurodegeneration

    Scientists critically discuss immunological mechanisms of central neurodegeneration and propose potential strategies to correct neurodegeneration-associated immunological dysfunction with therapeutic purposes.
