Placental-brain axis in females detected within broadly impacted metabolic gene networks protects against prenatal PCB exposure

The paper investigates sex-specific transcriptional responses to prenatal PCB exposure in mouse brain and placenta, finding female protective effects mediated by metabolic gene networks.

CCR7+ CD4 T Cell Immunosurveillance Disrupted in Chronic SIV-Induced Neuroinflammation in Rhesus Brain.

The paper identifies CCR7+ CD4 T cells in rhesus brain and border tissues, showing their decline during chronic SIV-induced neuroinflammation and their role in CNS immune surveillance.

Expression changes in immune and epigenetic gene pathways associated with nutritional metabolites in maternal blood from pregnancies resulting in autism and atypical neurodevelopment

The paper examines gene expression and metabolite associations in maternal blood during pregnancy to link prenatal nutrition with neurodevelopmental outcomes in children.

MeCP2 isoform e1 mutant mice recapitulate motor and metabolic phenotypes of Rett syndrome

This study shows that MeCP2-e1 mutation in mice reproduces motor and metabolic issues seen in Rett syndrome patients.
