This study shows human astrocytes can present antigens via MHCII after chronic cytokine exposure, revealing their potential as antigen-presenting cells.

This study uses human brain organoids to show that glioblastoma cells adopt neuron-like states and interact with region-specific synaptic inputs to drive invasion.

The paper identifies and validates synergistic ligand-receptor pairs that drive astrocyte development in the human brain using computational methods and experimental testing.
