neural cells

[AgeX Therapeutics, Inc.] AgeX Therapeutics, Inc. announced today a research collaboration with the University of California, Irvine to explore the therapeutic potential of exosomes and other extracellular vesicles produced by neural stem cells derived from AgeX pluripotent stem cells, with the goal of developing therapies to treat adverse neurocognitive effects of cancer chemotherapy and radiation therapy on brain function.

[Journal of Molecular Cell Biology] Based on the chemical screening, the authors developed a new recipe for efficient induction of progenitors of motor neurons progenitors from human embryonic stem cells.

[Acta Biomaterialia] The authors bioengineered a physiologically relevant 3D scaffold by integrating brain-like extracellular matrix components and chemical cues.

[Nature Medicine] Public transcriptomic datasets confirmed B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) RNA expression in the caudate of normal human brains, suggesting that this may be an on-target effect of anti-BCMA therapy.

[Cancer Science] Retrospective RNA-seq data analysis was conducted in a cohort of 313 patients with glioma in the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas database and 603 patients in the TCGA database.

[Small] Transformation of conventional 2D platforms into unusual 3D configurations provides exciting opportunities for sensors, electronics, optical devices, and biological systems.
