Ethanol exposure disrupted the formation of radial glial processes and impaired the generation and migration of outer radial glial cells in forebrain organoids derived from human embryonic stem cells. [PDF]
Radial glial cells (RGCs) play a pivotal role in cerebral cortical development by functioning as a source of new neurons and by supporting the migration of newborn neurons. These functions are primarily dependent on the apical-basolateral structures of radial glial processes.

Brain organoid models of SZT2-related disease reveal an overproduction of outer radial glial cells through mTORC1 activation [PDF]
Biallelic loss-of-function variants of Seizure Threshold 2 (SZT2) cause neurodevelopmental diseases with developmental delay, epilepsy, and macrocephaly.

Mitotic spindle orientation predicts outer radial glial cell generation in human neocortex [PDF]
The human neocortex is increased in size and complexity as compared with most other species. Neocortical expansion has recently been attributed to protracted neurogenesis by outer radial glial cells in the outer subventricular zone, a region present in humans but not in rodents.

Lzts1 controls both neuronal delamination and outer radial glial-like cell generation during mammalian cerebral development [PDF]
Outer radial glial cells (oRGs) are undifferentiated cells that divide in the subventricular zone during neurodevelopment, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.

Enhanced cortical neural stem cell identity through short SMAD and WNT inhibition in human cerebral organoids facilitates emergence of outer radial glial cells. [PDF]
Abstract Cerebral organoids exhibit broad regional heterogeneity accompanied by limited cortical cellular diversity despite the tremendous upsurge in derivation methods, suggesting inadequate patterning of early neural stem cells (NSCs).

Control of Outer Radial Glial Stem Cell Mitosis in the Human Brain [PDF]
Evolutionary expansion of the human neocortex is partially attributed to a relative abundance of neural stem cells in the fetal brain called outer radial glia (oRG). oRG cells display a characteristic division mode, mitotic somal translocation (MST), in which the soma rapidly translocates toward the cortical plate immediately prior to cytokinesis.

Molecular signatures and lineage diversification of neurogenic and gliogenic radial glia in the gyrencephalic ferret cortex [PDF]
Human exceptional cognition stems from evolutionarily derived cortical adaptations that drive expansive neurogenesis. In this study, we employ the gyrencephalic ferret model to systematically characterize the molecular profiles and lineage dynamics of ...

Aristaless-related homeobox (ARX) has important functions in the development of various organs including the brain. Mutations of the human ARX gene have been associated with malformations of the cerebral cortex such as microcephaly and lissencephaly ...

Changes in the Localization of Polyamine Spermidine in the Rat Retina with Age
Polyamines (PAs) in the nervous system has a key role in regeneration and aging. Therefore, we investigated age-related changes in the expression of PA spermidine (SPD) in the rat retina.

The human brain has a highly complex structure both on the microscopic and on the macroscopic scales. Increasing evidence has suggested the role of mechanical forces for cortical folding – a classical hallmark of the human brain.
