    Reversal of C9orf72 Mutation-Induced Transcriptional Dysregulation and Pathology in Cultured Human Neurons by Allele-Specific Excision

    Investigators generated five different genomic excisions at the C9orf72 locus in a patient-derived iPSC line and a non-diseased wild-type line, and examined gene expression and pathological hallmarks of C9 frontotemporal dementia/ALS in motor neurons differentiated from these lines.

    Nose-to-Brain Selective Drug Delivery to Glioma via Ferritin-Based Nanovectors Reduces Tumor Growth and Improves Survival Rate

    Researchers demonstrated that a nanocarrier, named The-0504, could cross the blood-brain barrier and specifically deliver the payload to gliomas that expressed high amounts of the ferritin/transferrin receptor TfR1.

    Rebound Growth of BRAF Mutant Pediatric Glioma Cells after MAPKi Withdrawal is Associated with MAPK Reactivation and Secretion of Microglia-Recruiting Cytokines

    Four patient-derived pediatric glioma models were investigated to model rebound growth in vitro based on viable cell counts in response to mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor (MAPKi) treatment and withdrawal.
