Long-lasting anxiolytic effect of neural precursor cells freshly prepared but not neurosphere-derived cell transplantation in newborn rats [PDF]
Background: the GABAergic system plays an important role in modulating levels of anxiety. When transplanted into the brain, precursor cells from the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) have the ability to differentiate into GABAergic interneurons and modify

Abstract Objective Mutations of the DEP Domain Containing 5 gene (DEPDC5), a mechanistic Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor involved in amino acid sensing, are associated with neurological diseases such as epilepsy and/or autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Loss of DEPDC5 impacts early neuronal development via mTOR hyperactivity.

Integrin targeted photodynamic therapy in patient‐derived glioblastoma spheroids
A novel targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT) agent, SiPc‐2c(RGDfK), was used to treat patient‐derived glioma stem cell spheroids expressing varying levels of the V3 integrin. The quantitative measurement of cytotoxicity following treatment demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy of SiPc‐2c(RGDfK) on V3‐expressing single spheroids, effectively ...

Latent stem and progenitor cells in the hippocampus are activated by neural excitation [PDF]
The regulated production of neurons in the hippocampus throughout life underpins important brain functions such as learning and memory. Surprisingly, however, studies have so far failed to identify a resident hippocampal stem cell capable of providing ...

Astrocytes influence medulloblastoma phenotypes and CD133 surface expression.
The medulloblastoma (MB) microenvironment is diverse, and cell-cell interactions within this milieu is of prime importance. Astrocytes, a major component of the microenvironment, have been shown to impact primary tumor cell phenotypes and metastasis ...

The role of circular RNAs in regulating cytokine signaling in cancer
Cytokines present in the tumor microenvironment fuel cancer development. Aberrant expression of circRNAs contributes to cancer progression. Cytokines are involved in regulating circRNA biogenesis. Furthermore, aberrantly expressed circRNAs regulate the expression of ligands, receptors, and downstream effectors involved in cytokine signaling to promote ...

Using Primary Neurosphere Cultures to Study Primary Cilia
The primary cilium is fundamentally important for the proliferation of neural stem/progenitor cells and for neuronal differentiation during embryonic, postnatal, and adult life. In addition, most differentiated neurons possess primary cilia that house signaling receptors, such as G-protein-coupled receptors, and signaling molecules, such as adenylyl ...
