Cell-type-specific DNA methylation dynamics in the prenatal and postnatal human cortex

Alice Franklin, Jonathan P. Davies, Nicholas E. Clifton, Georgina E. T. Blake, Rosemary A. Bamford, Emma Walker, Barry A. Chioza, Martyn Frith, Simon Baron‐Cohen, Carrie Allison, Varun Warrier, Alex Tsompanidis, Deep Adhya, Rosie Holt, Joanna Davis, , Covadonga M. Diaz-Caneja

This study identifies cell-type-specific DNA methylation dynamics in the human cortex across development, highlighting prenatal periods as critical for epigenomic plasticity and linking changes to neurodevelopmental disorders.

Adolescent-onset and adult-onset schizophrenia: reduced ribosomal protein expression via mTOR signalling in patient-derived olfactory cells

Yichen Li, Melanie Föcking, Alexandre S. Cristino, Jane English, Gerard Cagney, Anthony C. James, David Cotter, Francis G. Szele, Alan Mackay‐Sim

This study compares proteomic profiles of olfactory cells from adolescent- and adult-onset schizophrenia patients, finding similar downregulation of ribosomal proteins and mTOR pathway components.
