mTORC1 activation drives astrocyte reactivity in cortical tubers and brain organoid models of TSC

Thomas L. Li, John D. Blair, Taesun Yoo, Gerald Arthur Grant, Dirk F. Hockemeyer, Brenda E. Porter, Helen S. Bateup

This study shows that mTORC1 activation in astrocytes drives reactivity in cortical tubers and brain organoids, linking it to TSC pathology.

STAT3 regulates the generation of astroglia inhuman brain organoids with high mTORC1 activity

Bipan Kumar Deb, Thomas L. Li, John D. Blair, Dirk F. Hockemeyer, Helen S. Bateup

The paper shows that STAT3, downstream of mTORC1, regulates astroglia generation in human brain organoids, but mTORC1 is not required for cytokine-induced STAT3 activation.
