This study shows thyroid hormone promotes fetal neurogenesis by inducing transcriptional changes in neural precursor cells, highlighting the importance of maternal thyroid hormone levels for brain development.

This paper develops orally deliverable milk-derived nanovesicles loaded with Cx43 peptides to treat cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury, showing >60% reduction in infarct size in mice.

This study uses a CRISPR-dCas9 model to investigate the BFB cycle, revealing increased DNA damage, chromosome fusions, and involvement of DNA repair pathways in ITCB formation.

This study investigates how the carboxyl terminal domain of Cx43 affects astrocyte endfoot organization and BBB permeability in mice.

The paper uses AAV-BR1 to target endothelial cells in the mouse retina, identify their morphology, and deliver Cx43 for studying microvascular function.

The paper generates and characterizes immortalized mouse cortical astrocyte cell lines from wildtype and Cx43 knockout mice, showing they maintain astrocyte markers and functional properties.
