Autism-associated oxysterol regulates GABAergic neurogenesis and subtype fates

Maria Cruz-Santos, Ethan Kidd, Zongze Li, Daniel Cabezas de la Fuente, Sara Davies, Ngoc‐Nga Vinh, Marija Fjodorova, Meng Li

The paper shows that 24S,25-epoxysterol, an oxysterol linked to neurodevelopmental disorders, promotes neurogenesis and disrupts GABAergic neuronal subtype composition through the liver X receptor pathway.

Direct pathway bias and altered striatal neurogenesis in human iPSC models of 16p11.2 CNVs: Evidence from single-cell and functional analyses

Marija Fjodorova, Parinda Prapaiwongs, Olena Petter, Ilaria Morella, Zongze Li, Jessica H. Hall, Ngoc‐Nga Vinh, Sara Davies, Jonathan Green, Jérémy Hall, Marianne B. M. van den Bree, Riccardo Brambilla, Meng Li

The paper uses human iPSC-derived medium spiny neurons to show that 16p11.2 CNVs alter striatal neurogenesis and bias toward direct pathway neurons, linking these changes to neurodevelopmental disorders.
