Molecular Editing Reveals a Bilobalide Chemotype that Attenuates Prolyl Endopeptidase (PREP)‐Linked Neuroinflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Molecular editing of bilobalide uncovers BB56, a PREP‐engaging chemotype with enhanced anti‐inflammatory activity in microglia. Integrated CETSA‐MS, SAR, and pathway analyses link BB56 to attenuation of p38 MAPK/NF‐κB and NLRP3‐associated inflammatory signaling, highlighting bilobalide editing as a strategy for developing neuroinflammation‐modulating ...

Low‐Intensity Focused Ultrasound Enables Temporal Modulation of Human Midbrain Organoid Differentiation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, we demonstrate that low‐intensity ultrasound stimulation enables temporal modulation of midbrain organoid differentiation using a modular multi‐well stimulation platform. In particular, we show that ultrasound promotes the proliferation of dopaminergic progenitor cells.

Computational Models for Calcium-Mediated Astrocyte Functions

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2018
The computational neuroscience field has heavily concentrated on the modeling of neuronal functions, largely ignoring other brain cells, including one type of glial cell, the astrocytes. Despite the short history of modeling astrocytic functions, we were

Single‐Cell Dissection of Microglial Dysfunction in Diabetes‐Associated Neurodegenerative Vulnerability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using single‐cell transcriptomic and epigenomic profiling, researchers mapped microglial dysfunction across the lifespan of db/db mice. The authors uncovered a nonlinear microglial remodeling featuring early inflammatory priming, a mid‐stage transcriptional inflection, and late dysfunction.

Remote Magnetomechanical Neuromodulation Uncovers Therapeutic Mechanisms for Alleviating Parkinsonian Symptoms in Freely Moving Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Magnetomechanical neuromodulation using magnetic nanodiscs enables remote activation of neurons. In a hemiparkinsonian mouse model, alternating magnetic fields actuate the nanodiscs to generate torque that opens mechanosensitive ion channels within the subthalamic nucleus, thereby modulating basal ganglia motor circuitry.

Astrocyte store released calcium modulates structural synapse development and circuit output in the visual system

Communications Biology
Astrocytes, a major class of glial cells, are critical regulators of neuronal synapse development and function. Deficits in astrocyte-synapse interactions are implicated in various neurological disorders, yet the precise mechanisms by which astrocytes ...

Astrocyte ryanodine receptors facilitate gliotransmission and astroglial modulation of synaptic plasticity

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
Intracellular Ca2+-signaling in astrocytes is instrumental for their brain “housekeeping” role and astroglial control of synaptic plasticity. An important source for elevating the cytosolic Ca2+ level in astrocytes is a release from endoplasmic reticulum
