This paper describes an optimized protocol for long-term maintenance of mouse spinal cord organotypic slices transplanted with human neural stem cells to test cell replacement therapies for spinal cord injury.

The paper generates and validates a collection of hiPSC lines from Schizophrenia patients with diverse clinical profiles to model disease-specific neural phenotypes and develop targeted therapies.

This study shows that WDR62 mutations disrupt Golgi-to-spindle pole shuttling in neural progenitors, leading to neurodevelopmental abnormalities in microcephaly.

The paper shows that mechanical stimulation via magnetic nano-pulling accelerates neural precursor maturation into neurons and alters neuronal network organization.
