Dystonia-Specific Mutations in THAP1 Alter Transcription of Genes Associated with Neurodevelopment and Myelin

Scientists established a pipeline for characterizing an allelic series of dystonia-specific mutations. They used this strategy to investigate the molecular consequences of genetic variation in THAP1, which encoded a transcription factor linked to neural differentiation.

Introducing Dorsoventral Patterning in Adult Regenerating Lizard Tails with Gene-Edited Embryonic Neural Stem Cells

Neural-stem cells were isolated from parthenogenetic lizard embryos, rendered unresponsive to Hedgehog signaling via CRISPR/Cas9 gene knockout of smoothened, and implanted back into clonally-identical adults to regulate tail regeneration.

Human Microglia States Are Conserved across Experimental Models and Regulate Neural Stem Cell Responses in Chimeric Organoids

Xenotransplantation of human microglia into cerebral organoids allowed us to characterize key transcriptional programs of developing microglia in vitro and revealed that microglia induced transcriptional changes in neural stem cells and decrease interferon signaling response genes.

CRISPR/Cas9 Mediated Gene Correction Ameliorates Abnormal Phenotypes in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 Patient-Derived Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3)-iPSCs could be corrected by the replacement of the abnormal CAG expansions with normal repeats using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homologous recombination strategy. Corrected SCA3-iPSCs retained pluripotent and normal karyotype, which could be differentiated into a neural stem cell and neuronal cells.

Engineered Human Induced Pluripotent Cells Enable Genetic Code Expansion in Brain Organoids

Scientists demonstrated that genomic integration of expression cassettes for a pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase, pyrrolysyl-tRNA and the target protein of interest enables site-specific incorporation of a non-canonical amino acid in response to amber stop codons.
