Smad1 and Smad5 differentially transduce BMP signaling during in vitro differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells into dorsal interneurons

Salena Gallardo, Sandeep Gupta, Yahir Verdin, Cristian Rodriguez, Brian Chilin, Armo Derbarsegian, Gabriela Gajardo Del Real, Samantha J. Butler

This study investigates the distinct roles of Smad1 and Smad5 in BMP signaling during mouse ESC differentiation into dorsal interneurons, showing they have different impacts on cell fate specification.

In vivo human embryonic spinal cord atlas validates stem cell-derived human dorsal interneurons and reveals ASD spinal signatures

Sandeep Gupta, Eric Heinrichs, Cristian Rodriguez, Emily Friedman, Salena Gallardo, T. Demirjie, Teny Panosian, Keith D. Phan, Anooshik Tahmasian, Yahir Verdin, Samantha J. Butler, Sneak Peek Administrator

The paper creates an in vivo human embryonic spinal cord atlas to study dorsal interneurons and identifies ASD-related gene enrichment in mechanosensory interneurons.

Nanobodies targeting hnRNPA2/B1 and tau

Azady Pirhanov, Cristian Rodriguez, Fatemeh Tashakori-Asfestani, Raven Gonsoulin, Rayne Santiago, Katarnut Tobunluepop, Emmanuella Erhunmwunsee, Sambhavi Puri, Monika Arbaciauskaite, Wu He, Benjamin L. Wolozin, Yong Ku Cho

The paper develops nanobodies targeting hnRNPA2/B1 and tau, showing they colocalize with targets and can reduce protein levels when fused to ubiquitin ligase domains.

Netrin1 patterns the dorsal spinal cord through modulation of Bmp signaling

Sandy Alvarez, Sandeep Gupta, Yesica Mercado-Ayon, Kaitlyn Lauren Honeychurch, Cristian Rodriguez, Riki Kawaguchi, Samantha J. Butler

The paper identifies netrin1 as a suppressor of Bmp signaling in the dorsal spinal cord, altering interneuron patterning and Bmp activity through gain- and loss-of-function experiments in multiple models.
