Pathological variants in HPDL cause collapse of the neuro-glial unit during human cortical maturation

Matteo Baggiani, Michela Giacich, Valentina Naef…·Devid Damiani

This study investigates the effects of HPDL variants on cortical development, finding synaptic impairment, glial loss, and reactivation of developmental programs in HPDL-deficient cultures.

HPDL is critical in human cortical development via regulation of mitochondrial functional properties

Matteo Baggiani, María Andrea Desbats, Valentina Naef…·Devid Damiani

This study shows HPDL is essential for cortical development by regulating mitochondrial function and neurogenesis, with implications for SPG83 pathology and potential antioxidant therapies.

The age-regulated zinc finger factor ZNF367 is a new modulator of embryonic neurogenesis

Valentina Naef, Sara Monticelli, Debora Corsinovi…·Michela Ori

The paper identifies ZNF367 as an age-regulated zinc finger factor that modulates embryonic neurogenesis and may contribute to age-related decline in neural stem cell function.
