This study shows that SCN1A haploinsufficiency disrupts neural progenitor networks and accelerates neurogenesis in human Dravet syndrome forebrain assembloids, leading to altered corticogenesis and circuit hyperexcitability.

This study shows that human transferrin and lactoferrin, along with CEACAM1, support Neisseria meningitidis colonization in mice, with transferrin playing a critical role in sepsis and colonization.
