neural cells

[Cell Reports] Researchers demonstrated that glutamate receptors of the kainate receptor subfamily were expressed in adult-born dentate granule cells and that, through their interaction with GABAergic signaling mechanisms, they altered the functional properties of adult-born cells during a critical period of their development.

[EMBO Reports] The authors showed that secreted frizzled-related protein 1 (SFRP1), a multifunctional regulator of cell-to-cell communication, was part of the cellular crosstalk underlying neuroinflammation.

[Cell] Using stringent lineage tracing in the mouse brain, investigators showed that the presumed astrocyte-converted neurons were actually endogenous neurons.

[Journal of Inflammation Research] Investigators recapitulate the molecular basis of bone marrow (BM)MSC-assisted biological processes and summarizes the possible mechanisms related to the interaction between BMMSCs and microglia.

[Trends in Neurosciences] The authors review the development, distribution, neurochemical phenotypes, and possible functions of pericellular baskets. They highlight pericellular baskets formed by projections of certain Pet1/Fev neurons of the serotonergic raphe nuclei.

[Cell Death & Disease] Scientists identified HOTAIRM1 as a candidate lncRNA whose up-regulation was significantly associated with shorter survival of glioblastoma patients, independent from IDH mutation and MGMT promoter methylation.
