Johns Hopkins University scientists have engineered a new multi-region brain organoid that mimics early human brain development. The model offers a powerful new tool for studying disorders like autism, schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease.
Stem-cell based blastocyst models have enabled scientists to redefine the molecular signature and timing of the onset of gastrulation.
iPS-cell-derived microglia in brain organoids have enabled scientists to understand early brain development and microglia-associated disease.
The scientists revealed in mice models that endogenous retrovirus activation increases a foetus’s susceptibility to autism.
Researchers have innovated the petri dish to be able to grow and age live brain cells from patients with neurological disorders.
The new research shows how interleukin-17a (IL-17a) can alter the trajectory of immune system development and cause gut inflammation.
Scientists have developed brain organoids that recapitulate the head size of autism patients to study the condition as well as possible therapies.
Researchers have shown that miR-29 can control brain maturation in mammals, presenting a target for autism, epilepsy and other conditions.
An enzyme in fruit fly larvae plays a role in reactivating neural stem cells, which could explain how some neurodevelopmental disorders occur.
A key modifier has been identified by researchers in a large fruit fly genetic deletion related to neurodevelopmental disorders such as schizophrenia and autism.
Researchers have discovered a pathway that causes behavioural abnormalities and other hallmarks of autism; they also revealed how to silence this and reverse the symptoms in mice.
Researchers in the US have devised a new way to clearly image proteins located in synapses, which they hope will faciliate future treatment for diseases associated with blocked gene expression.
Scientists may have found a sensitive time period where autism related social deficits could be reversed in tuberous sclerosis...
Researchers at the University of San Francisco have suggested how advances in EEG brain scanners could help to diagnose brain conditions earlier...
The protein ASTN2 has been identified as a trafficking protein that ushers proteins away from the membrane ready for degradation in the cell...
