Esthesioneuroblastomas are rare neuroectodermally derived neoplasms occurring in the upper nasal septum or cribriform plate. They have been rarely reported in other sites, when they are called ectopic esthesioneuroblastomas. Due to the scarcity of reports, publications and molecular/genetic studies of these tumours, their diagnosis is likely to be missed when they are ectopic. Similar to the case report in this journal by Zahedi et al., we had a case of neuroectodermally derived neoplasm of the tonsil, which was difficult to diagnose, due to the site of occurrence being unknown for these tumours.

Embryonic-type neuroectodermal tumors (ENTs) arising from testicular germ cell tumors (GCTs) is a relatively common type of somatic transformation in GCTs with poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options, particularly when patients develop disease recurrence or metastasis. Knowledge of key events driving this transformation is limited to the paucity of comprehensive genomic data. We performed a retrospective database search in a CLIA- and CAP-certified laboratory for testicular GCT-derived ENTs that had previously undergone NGS-based comprehensive genomic profiling during the course of clinical care.

In recent years, the progression of stem cell therapies has shown great promise in advancing the nascent field of regenerative medicine. Considering the non-regenerative nature of the mature central nervous system, the concept that "blank" cells could be reprogrammed and functionally integrated into host neural networks remained intriguing. Previous work has also demonstrated the ability of such cells to stimulate intrinsic growth programs in post-mitotic cells, such as neurons.

Background: The ability to generate endogenous Cre recombinase drivers using CRISPR-Cas9 knock-in technology allows lineage tracing, cell type specific gene studies, and validation of inferred developmental trajectories from phenotypic and gene expression analyses. This report describes endogenous zebrafish Cre and CreERT2 drivers generated with GeneWeld CRISPR-Cas9 precision targeted integration.
Results: and knock-ins crossed with ubiquitous -based Switch reporters led to broad labeling in expected mesodermal and neural crest-derived lineages in cardiac, pectoral fins, pharyngeal arch, liver, intestine, and mesothelial tissues, as well as enteric neurons.

Brain organoids encompass a large collection of in vitro stem cell-derived 3D culture systems that aim to recapitulate multiple aspects of in vivo brain development and function. First, this review provides a brief introduction to the current state-of-the-art for neuro-ectoderm brain organoid development, emphasizing their biggest advantages in comparison with classical two-dimensional cell cultures and animal models. However, despite their usefulness for developmental studies, a major limitation for most brain organoid models is the absence of contributing cell types from endodermal and mesodermal origin.

Article Synopsis
- The processes of primary and secondary neurulation, which lead to spinal cord formation, are not fully understood in humans due to difficulties accessing embryos at the relevant stages (3-7 weeks post-conception).
- Analysis of 108 human embryos reveals that while primary neurulation is similar to that in mice, it has distinct differences; secondary neurulation begins later and forms a single lumen, unlike the multiple lumens seen in chicks.
- Key differences in neurulation timing between humans and mice were noted, such as the rate of somite formation and the termination of axial elongation associated with apoptosis in the embryonic tailbud; these findings can aid current research on neurulation using stem cell-derived organoids
