The Critical Role of YAP/BMP/ID1 Axis on Simulated Microgravity-Induced Neural Tube Defects in Human Brain Organoids.

Integrated biochemical and biophysical signals regulate embryonic development. Correct neural tube formation is critical for the development of central nervous system. However, the role of microgravity in neurodevelopment and its underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear.

Brain organoid maturation and implantation integration based on electrical signals input.

Introduction: Brain organoids are believed to be able to regenerate impaired neural circuits and reinstate brain functionality. The neuronal activity of organoids is considered a crucial factor for restoring host function after implantation. However, the optimal stage of brain organoid post-transplantation has not yet been established.

3D printing of interferon γ-preconditioned NSC-derived exosomes/collagen/chitosan biological scaffolds for neurological recovery after TBI.

The reconstruction of neural function and recovery of chronic damage following traumatic brain injury (TBI) remain significant clinical challenges. Exosomes derived from neural stem cells (NSCs) offer various benefits in TBI treatment. Numerous studies confirmed that appropriate preconditioning methods enhanced the targeted efficacy of exosome therapy.

Low-intensity ultrasound ameliorates brain organoid integration and rescues microcephaly deficits.

Human brain organoids represent a remarkable platform for modelling neurological disorders and a promising brain repair approach. However, the effects of physical stimulation on their development and integration remain unclear. Here, we report that low-intensity ultrasound significantly increases neural progenitor cell proliferation and neuronal maturation in cortical organoids.
