Neurological disorders are hard to treat. Stem cell‐derived neural organoids enable research, and their transplantation aids CNS therapy, with this article reviewing relevant advances, challenges and prospects. ABSTRACT Neurological disorders are often devastating and notoriously difficult to repair, creating an urgent need for novel research models ...

Regulation of PHOX2B gene expression by the long non‐coding natural antisense RNA PHOX2B‐AS1
PHOX2B is a transcription factor essential for autonomic nervous system development. We identify and characterize PHOX2B‐AS1, a human long non‐coding antisense transcript at the PHOX2B locus, along with its murine counterpart. Our findings reveal bidirectional transcription and reciprocal regulation: PHOX2B activates PHOX2B‐AS1, whereas PHOX2B‐AS1 ...

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes
Pericytes are specialised perivascular cells intimately connected with endothelial cells and essential for the maintenance of vascular beds. They contribute to the formation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix by actively secreting proteases and protease inhibitors.

ABSTRACT Aim To examine whether self‐reported thriving at work is associated with biomarkers of stress, inflammation, neuroplasticity and neurodegeneration in nurses. Design A cross‐sectional study. Methods An online questionnaire measuring thriving at work was administered to nurses in a teaching hospital in Michigan, U.S. over 5 weeks in 2024.

Unravelling the Genetic Mechanisms of Litter Traits in a Maternal Line of Pigs
ABSTRACT Reproductive traits related to litter size are the main indicators of reproductive efficiency in pig production and are continuously evaluated for the selection of maternal lines. Several environmental and genetic factors are involved with the development of these traits.

The extracellular matrix plays a critical role in modulating cell behaviour in the central nervous system influencing neural cell morphology and growth. However, a better understanding of the impact of individual matrix proteins on both neurons and astrocytes is critical for advancing the development of matrix‐based neural repair strategies.
