Organoids are miniaturized and simplified versions of an organ produced in vitro from stem
or progenitor cells. They are used as a model system consisting of multiple cell types …

Gas bubbles present in liquids underpin many natural phenomena and human-developed
technologies that improve the quality of life. Since all living organisms are predominantly …

Light is well-established for control of bond breakage but not for control of specific bond
formation in complex environments. We previously engineered the diffusion-limited reactivity …

The synchronous activity of neuronal networks is considered crucial for brain function.
However, the interaction between single-neuron activity and network-wide activity remains …

Alternative splicing of neuronal genes is controlled partly by the coordinated action of
polypyrimidine tract binding proteins (PTBPs). While PTBP1 is ubiquitously expressed …

Cancers in the central nervous system resist therapies effective in other cancers, possibly
due to the unique biochemistry of the human brain microenvironment composed of …

Complex genetic predispositions accelerate the chronic degeneration of midbrain substantia
nigra neurons in Parkinson's disease (PD). Deciphering the human molecular makeup of PD …

Advances in cellular reprogramming have radically increased the use of patient-derived
cells for neurological research in vitro. However, adherence of human neurons on tissue …

Background Loss-of-function mutations in the contactin-associated protein-like 2
(CNTNAP2) gene are causal for neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism …

Childhood is recognised as a period of immense physical and emotional development, and
this, in part, is driven by underlying neurophysiological transformations. These …
