|
| Microfluidics and two-photon confocal microscopy was applied to screen nanocarriers for transport efficacy and gain mechanistic insights into their interactions with neurons. [Small] |
|
|
|
| Scientists used proteomics, genetics, and translation assays in cultured cells and mouse brains to reveal altered translation mediated by loss of the kinase TAOK2 in 16p11.2 deletion models. [Science Advances] |

|
| The authors replicated the altered corticogenesis in the Huntington’s disease (HD) fetal brain using HD patient-derived human cortical organoids. [Molecular Psychiatry] |
|
|
|
| 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.

|
| 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. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| 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. [Journal Of Neuro-Oncology] |

|
| The authors provide a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms by which phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) regulate activities of different stem cell populations and influence neurological disorders. [Cell Death & Disease] |
