This study shows that activating ERV-W in human glutamatergic neurons disrupts postsynaptic organization and synaptic function.

TRIM28 missense variants in individuals with neurodevelopmental delay disrupt epigenetic control of transposable elements, leading to altered gene expression and neurodevelopmental defects.

This study identifies a chimpanzee-specific retroviral insertion that influences gene regulation and brain development, highlighting its role in human-chimpanzee brain divergence.

This study shows MORC2 regulates CpG methylation of active LINE-1 retrotransposons during human neurodevelopment, similar to the piRNA pathway in the germline.
