DUSP6 loss enhances dopamine secretion and modulate neurodevelopment in ADHD iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons

Atefeh Namipashaki, Shane D. Hellyer, Aurina Arnatkevičiūtė, Cameron J. Nowell, Kevin S. Walsh, Jose Maria Polo, Karen J. Gregory, Mark A. Bellgrove, Ziarih Hawi

This study investigates the role of DUSP6 in ADHD by generating DUSP6 knockouts in iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons, finding increased dopamine secretion and transcriptomic changes linked to neurodevelopment and psychiatric disorders.

An Integrated EEG, TMS-EEG and Behavioural Dataset for Investigating the Neural Correlates of Working Memory

Mana Biabani, Alex Fornito, Sarah Thompson, Ziarih Hawi, Murat Yücel, Mark A. Bellgrove, Nigel C. Rogasch

The paper presents a dataset of EEG, TMS-EEG, and behavioural data from 123 healthy adults to study the neural correlates of working memory.

High-intensity cardiovascular exercise facilitates online motor skill learning, with no effect of BDNF genotype

Emily Brooks, Ziarih Hawi, Juliet Hosler, Jessica Kwee, Nermin Aljehany, Winston D. Byblow, Joshua J. Hendrikse, James P. Coxon

This study shows that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) improves motor skill learning, but neither online nor offline learning processes are specifically responsible, and BDNF or DRD2/ANKK1 genotypes do not influence this effect.

Transcriptome profiling of dopaminergic neurons derived from an ADHD induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) model

Atefeh Namipashaki, Aurina Arnatkevičiūtė, Shane D. Hellyer, Cameron J. Nowell, Kevin S. Walsh, Jose Maria Polo, Karen J. Gregory, Mark A. Bellgrove, Ziarih Hawi

This study profiles transcriptomes of dopaminergic neurons from ADHD and neurotypical iPSCs, identifying DEGs overlapping with ADHD GWAS results and suggesting delayed neuronal maturation.

Integration of Xeno-Free Single-cell Cloning in CRISPR-mediated DNA Editing of Human iPSCs Improves Homogeneity and Methodological Efficiency of Cellular Disease Modelling

Atefeh Namipashaki, Kealan Pugsley, Xiaodong Liu, Kirra Abrehart, Sue Mei Lim, Guizhi Sun, Marco J. Herold, Jose Maria Polo, Mark A. Bellgrove, Ziarih Hawi

This paper introduces a xeno-free single-cell cloning method for CRISPR-edited human iPSCs, achieving high clonal survival and editing efficiency for improved disease modeling.

Generation of four iPSC lines from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of an Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) individual and a healthy sibling in an Australia-Caucasian family

Janette Tong, Kyung Min Lee, Xiaodong Liu, Christian Maximilian Nefzger, Prasidhee Vijayakumar, Ziarih Hawi, Ken C. Pang, Clare L. Parish, Jose Maria Polo, Mark A. Bellgrove

The paper reports the generation of four iPSC lines from PBMCs of an ADHD patient and their healthy sibling, confirming pluripotency and differentiation potential.

A genetic investigation of sex bias in the prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

Joanna Martin, Raymond Kenney Walters, Ditte Demontis, Manuel Mattheisen, Sang Lee, Elise Robinson, Isabell Brikell, Laura Ghirardi, Henrik Larsson, Paul Lichtenstein, Nicholas Eriksson, Thomas Mears Werge, Preben Bo Mortensen, Marianne Giørtz Pedersen, Ole N Mors, , Gerd Lehmkuhl

This study investigates genetic mechanisms underlying sex bias in ADHD prevalence using genome-wide data and finds no mean polygenic burden difference across sexes but increased risk in female siblings and comorbid conditions.
