This study shows that activation of endogenous retroviruses during brain development leads to neuroinflammation in adult mice.

The paper uses lineage recording techniques to study brain regionalization in cerebral organoids, finding that iPSC clones accumulate in distinct brain regions and lineage restriction increases over time.

The paper identifies LINE-2-derived microRNAs and their target sites in human tissues, showing their role in regulating gene expression and their disruption in glioblastoma.
