This study examines the effects of microgravity on iPSC-derived neural organoids using samples from the International Space Station, finding reduced cell proliferation and increased neural maturity in space-cultured organoids.

This study shows that functional recovery from dopamine neuron grafts depends on neurite outgrowth, not graft size or neuron content, and identifies gene expression patterns linked to graft efficacy.

The paper generates a chromosome-level genome assembly for the functionally extinct northern white rhinoceros and compares it to the southern white rhinoceros.
