Accumulating evidence indicates that extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate endocrine functions and also pathogenic effects of neurodevelopmental perturbagens like ethanol. We performed mass-spectrometry on EVs secreted by fetal murine cerebral cortical neural stem cells (NSCs), cultured as sex-specific neurosphere cultures, to identify overrepresented proteins and signaling pathways in EVs relative to parental NSCs in controls, and following exposure of parental NSCs to a dose range of ethanol. EV proteomes differ substantially from parental NSCs, and though EVs sequester proteins across sub-cellular compartments, they are enriched for distinct morphogenetic signals including the planar cell polarity pathway. Ethanol exposure favored selective protein sequestration in EVs and depletion in parental NSCs, and also resulted in dose-independent overrepresentation of cell-cycle and DNA replication pathways in EVs as well as dose-dependent overrepresentation of rRNA processing and mTor stress pathways. Transfer of untreated EVs to naïve cells resulted in decreased oxidative metabolism and S-phase, while EVs derived from ethanol-treated NSCs exhibited diminished effect. Collectively, these data show that NSCs secrete EVs with a distinct proteome that may have a general growth-inhibitory effect on recipient cells. Moreover, while ethanol results in selective transfer of proteins from NSCs to EVs, the efficacy of these exposure-derived EVs is diminished.

Objective: We assessed the prevalence of guardian-reported reading difficulties in children treated for non-syndromic craniosynostosis (NSC) and in relation to the location of the closed suture. Additionally, we determined correlations with guardian-reported neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) and associations between reported reading ability, sex, timing of surgical intervention, parental education, and heredity of reading difficulties in guardians.
Design: Cross-sectional, prospective, population-based study.

Fatty acid binding protein 7 (FABP7) is a multifunctional chaperone involved in lipid metabolism and signaling. It is primarily expressed in astrocytes and neural stem cells (NSCs), as well as their derived malignant glioma cells within the central nervous system. Despite growing evidence for FABP7's tumor-intrinsic onco-metabolic functions, its mechanistic role in regulating the brain tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and its impact on prognosis at the molecular level remain incompletely understood.

Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in the mitochondrial inner membrane is a therapeutic target in many diseases. Neural stem cells (NSCs) show progress in improving mitochondrial dysfunction in the central nervous system (CNS). However, translating neural stem cell-based therapies to the clinic is challenged by uncontrollable biological variability or heterogeneity, hindering uniform clinical safety and efficacy evaluations.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers isolated and characterized EVs from various cell types (NSCs, MGE cells, and GABAergic interneurons) and loaded them with GABA to test their effectiveness in a rat model of epilepsy induced by kainic acid.
- * Results indicated that GABA-encapsulated EVs significantly reduced the frequency and severity of seizures in treated rats, suggesting that this method could be a promising alternative for epilepsy management.
Emerging Insights into the Roles of the Rhizome-Culm System in Bamboo Shoot Development through Analysis of Non-Structural Carbohydrate Changes.

Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) required for bamboo shoot development, the critical stage that determines the yield of a bamboo stand, originate from the parent bamboo with the complex underground system. However, the metabolic mechanism of NSCs in the rhizome-culm system during bamboo shoot development remains unclear. In this study, we focused on the changes of NSCs in the rhizome-culm system and used anatomical, physiological, and biochemical methods to investigate the metabolism of NSCs in bamboo shoots of and the role of NSCs supply in the parent bamboo at different ages.
