Epilepsy-Associated SCN2A-L1342P Mutation Drives Network Hyperexcitability and Widespread Transcriptomic Changes in Human Cortical Organoids

Maria I. Olivero-Acosta, Morgan J. Robinson, Zhefu Que…·Yang Yang

This study investigates the effects of the SCN2A-L1342P mutation in human cortical organoids, finding increased neuronal excitability, enhanced synaptic transmission, and transcriptomic changes related to synaptic and developmental pathways.

Human iPSC-derived microglia sense and dampen hyperexcitability of cortical neurons carrying the epilepsy-associated SCN2A-L1342P mutation

Zhefu Que, Maria I. Olivero-Acosta, Morgan J. Robinson…·Yang Yang

This study shows human iPSC-derived microglia detect and reduce hyperexcitability in neurons with the SCN2A-L1342P epilepsy mutation through morphological and calcium changes and reduced sodium channel current density.
