Generation of Neural Organoids and Their Application in Disease Modeling and Regenerative Medicine

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Neural organoids provide a versatile platform for neurological research. Advances in organoid technology have partially achieved human neural tissue complexity in terms of tissue structure, cell diversity, and neural signaling, offering insights into neural disorders and regenerative strategies. Technology advances from biomaterials, bio‐manufacturing,

EFTUD2 Regulates Cortical Morphogenesis via Modulation of Caspase‐3 and Aifm1 Splicing Pathways

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
EFTUD2, a spliceosomal GTPase linked to MFDM, regulates cortical development through apoptotic control. Conditional Eftud2 knockout in murine neural stem cells induces microcephaly and cortical disorganization, while pathogenic variants drive neuronal loss.

Congenital microcephaly unrelated to flavivirus exposure in coastal Kenya [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Wellcome Open Research, 2019
Background: Zika virus (ZIKV) was first discovered in East Africa in 1947.  ZIKV has caused microcephaly in the Americas, but it is not known whether ZIKV is a cause of microcephaly in East Africa.

Machine Learning‐Assisted Infectious Disease Detection in Low‐Income Areas: Toward Rapid Triage of Dengue and Zika Virus Using Open‐Source Hardware

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This study introduces an affordable machine learning platform for simultaneous dengue and zika detection using fluorine‐doped tin oxide thin films modified with gold nanoparticles and DNA aptamers. Designed for low‐cost, hardware‐limited devices (< $25), the model achieves 95.3% accuracy and uses only 9.4 kB of RAM, demonstrating viability for resource‐

Emerging concepts involving inhibitory and activating RNA functionalization towards the understanding of microcephaly phenotypes and brain diseases in humans

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Microcephaly is characterized as a small head circumference, and is often accompanied by developmental disorders. Several candidate risk genes for this disease have been described, and mutations in non-coding regions are occasionally found in patients ...

A New EP300‐Related Syndrome With Prominent Developmental and Immune Phenotypes

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rubinstein Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a disorder of chromatin remodeling and transcriptional regulation caused by heterozygous pathogenic variants in CREBBP and EP300. RTS is characterized by a distinct facial gestalt, intellectual disability, structural kidney and heart differences, feeding difficulties, and broad thumbs and great toes ...
