Atypical antipsychotics alter microglial functions via astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles

Hana Yeh, Yoonjae Song, Joshua J. Bowen, Liam T. McCrea, Steven D. Sheridan, Roy H. Perlis

This study shows that atypical antipsychotics like clozapine and olanzapine alter microglial functions through astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles by affecting phagocytosis and motility.

Schizophrenia-associated NRXN1 deletions induce developmental-timing- and cell-typespecific vulnerabilities in human brain organoids

Rebecca Sebastian, Kang Jin, Narciso Pavon, Ruby Bansal, Andrew Potter, Yoonjae Song, Juliana Babu, Rafael Gabriel, Yubing Sun, Bruce J. Aronow, ChangHui Pak

This study shows NRXN1 deletions affect brain development differently in specific cell types and genetic backgrounds, leading to synaptic dysfunction in organoids.
