This study investigates the role of ZNF804A in human neurodevelopment, finding it regulates excitatory synapse formation through increased local protein translation in developing cortical glutamatergic neurons.

This study compares mono- and bi-allelic NRXN1 mutations in iPSC-derived neurons, showing bi-allelic mutations cause more severe molecular, synaptic, and functional impairments.

The paper investigates how IL-6 exposure affects hiPSC-derived microglia-neural progenitor co-cultures, finding minimal transcriptional response in NPCs despite MGLs secreting IL-6R.

The paper shows that acute IL-6 exposure activates canonical IL-6R signaling in hiPSC-derived microglia but not neural progenitor cells, with implications for neurodevelopmental disorders.
