[American Journal of Psychiatry] An in vitro model of fetal human brain development, induced human iPSC–derived cerebral organoids, were used to test whether cerebral organoids were suitable for studying the impact of prenatal glucocorticoid exposure on the developing brain.

[Cell Death & Disease] Scientists applied unpredictable stress stimuli to breast tumor-bearing mice and established a xenograft model of breast cancer that suffered mental stress. This was followed by behavioral tests, tumor growth tracking, immune analysis, miRNA screening, and tumor cell proliferation analysis.

[npj Precision Oncology] Researchers isolated patient-derived glioblastoma cells showing high GD2 antigen expression representing a potential target for CAR T strategy.

[Cell Biology International] Researchers described functions of plant-derived fibroblast growth factor 2 and human serum albumin in maintenance and differentiation of human iPSCs.

[iScience] Scientists investigated DNA, RNA, epigenetics, and proteins in iPSC-derived motor neurons from patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) carrying hexanucleotide expansions in C9ORF72.

[Communications Biology] The authors examined the vertical-mixing effect on brain organoid structures using bioreactors and established inverted brain organoids.
