Analysis of Extracellular Vesicles as a Potential Index for Monitoring Differentiation of Neural Lineage Cells from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Researchers evaluated changes in extracellular vesicles morphology, concentration, and miRNA and protein expression in culture supernatants during the differentiation of iPSCs into neural lineage cells, for application in regenerative medicine for Parkinson’s disease.

Patient-Derived iPSC-Cerebral Organoid Modeling of the 17q11.2 Microdeletion Syndrome Establishes CRLF3 as a Critical Regulator of Neurogenesis

Using patient-derived human induced pluripotent stem cell-forebrain cerebral organoids (hCOs), researchers identified both neural stem cell proliferation and neuronal maturation abnormalities in neurofibromatosis type 1-total gene deletion hCOs.

Fungal Brain Infection Modeled in a Human-Neurovascular-Unit-on-a-Chip with a Functional Blood-Brain Barrier

Scientists showed that the neurotropism of Cryptococcus neoformans and its ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) could be modeled by the co-culture of human neural stem cells, brain microvascular endothelial cells and brain vascular pericytes in a human-neurovascular-unit-on-a-chip maintained by a stepwise gravity-driven unidirectional flow and recapitulating the structural and functional features of the BBB.

Nuclear Isoform of FGF13 Regulates Post-Natal Neurogenesis in the Hippocampus through an Epigenomic Mechanism

Scientist found that FGF13A, the nuclear isoform of FGF13, is involved in the maintenance of neural stem cells and the suppression of neuronal differentiation during post-natal hippocampal development.
