Neural stem cell biology and neurogenesis in mouse models of aging and Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
The etiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains a great challenge for neurological research. Extensive investigations for almost one hundred years have led to profound insights of the pathological and molecular mechanisms that affect the AD brain, and

Dual R-Smads interplay in the regulation of vertebrate neurogenesis [PDF]
During neurogenesis, multiple regulatory networks integrate extracellular and intracellular signals to ensure proper final numbers for each neuronal subtype at the end of the developmental process.

Ependymal cilia beating induces an actin network to protect centrioles against shear stress
Ependymal ciliary beating contributes to the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain ventricles and these cilia resist the flow forces. Here the authors show that the assembly of a dense actin network around the centrioles is induced by cilia beating to

Summary: Stem cell-derived neurons are generally obtained in mass cultures that lack both spatial organization and any meaningful connectivity. We implement a microfluidic system for long-term culture of human neurons with patterned projections and ...
