Glioblastoma-cortical organoids recapitulate cell state heterogeneity and intercellular transfer by Mangena, Vamsi, Chanoch-Myers, Rony, Sartore, Rafaela, Paulsen, Bruna, Gritsch, Simon, Weisman, Hannah, Hara, Toshiro, Breakefield, Xandra O, Breyne, Koen, Regev, Aviv, Chung, Kwanghun, Arlotta, Paola, Tirosh, Itay, Suva, Mario L

“…Here, we model this ecosystem by growing glioblastoma into long-term cultured human cortical organoids that contain the major neuroglial cell types found in the cerebral cortex. Single-cell RNA-seq analysis suggests that, compared to matched gliomasphere models, glioblastoma cortical organoids (GCO) more faithfully recapitulate the diversity and expression programs of malignant cell states found in patient tumors. …”

Using surface markers to describe the kinematics of the medial longitudinal arch in a longitudinal study of flexible flat feet and health-related quality of life by Uhan, J

“…Initially, it was applied to participants with cerebral palsy, to observe if it could characterise the MLA in feet with complex deformity and variable walking patterns. …”

CT perfusion for lesion-symptom mapping in large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke by Garrard, JW, Neuhaus, A, Carone, D, Joly, O, Zarrintan, A, Rabinstein, AA, Huynh, T, Harston, G, Brinjikji, W, Kallmes, DF

“…Time to maximal contrast (Tmax) prolongation was defined as >6 s, and penumbra as the difference between Tmax and ischemic core (relative cerebral blood flow<30%). Voxel-lesion-symptom mapping was performed using sparse canonical correlation analysis. …”

Dynamic B0 field shimming for improving pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling at 7 Tesla by Ji, Y, Woods, J, Li, H, Okell, T

“…We evaluated both 2D and 3D variants of our method, comparing their performance against the established global frequency offset and optimal encoding scheme (OES)-based corrections. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) maps were quantified before and after corrections, and CBF values from different methods were compared across the whole brain, white matter, and grey matter regions. …”

Neural and psychological correlates of stuttering by Demirel, B

“…In the second study, we investigated the incomplete cerebral dominance theory by analysing data from the same fMRI studies in four different speech and language tasks. …”

Time-restricted feeding modulates the DNA methylation landscape, attenuates hallmark neuropathology and cognitive impairment in a mouse model of vascular dementia by Selvaraji, Sharmelee, Efthymios, Motakis, Foo, Roger Sik Yin, Fann, David Y., Lai, Mitchell Kim Peng, Chen, Christopher Li Hsian, Lim, Kah-Leong, Arumugam, Thiruma V.

“…This study thus aims to investigate the DNA methylation landscape in a chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) mouse model of VaD. As a nexus between the gene-environment interaction, intermittent fasting (IF) was introduced as a prophylactic intervention. …”

The effect of the amyloid-beta peptide on the fluidity of cell membranes : a study by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy by Ng, Justin Wei Qing

“…One of the key factors thought lead to AD is the aggregation of the amyloid-beta (Aβ) in susceptible brain regions, namely the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Aβ is thought to interact with the cell membrane, perturbing its structure and organization, thus changing the fluidity and normal function of the cell membrane, leading to detrimental effects on the cells. …”
