Transcriptomic and Functional Landscape of Adult Human Spinal Cord NSPCs Compared to iPSC-Derived Neural Progenitor Cells by Sasi Kumar Jagadeesan, Ahmad Galuta, Ryan Vimukthi Sandarage, Eve Chung Tsai

“…RNA sequencing analysis revealed distinct transcriptomic profiles and functional disparities among NSPC types. iPSC-Br NSPCs exhibited a close resemblance to bona fide spinal cord NSPCs, characterized by enriched expression of neurogenesis, axon guidance, synaptic signaling, and voltage-gated calcium channel activity pathways. Conversely, iPSC-SC NSPCs displayed significant heterogeneity, suboptimal regional specification, and elevated expression of neural crest and immune response-associated genes. …”

Profiling Proteins in the Hypothalamus and Hippocampus of a Rat Model of Premenstrual Syndrome Irritability by Mingqi Qiao, Peng Sun, Yang Wang, Sheng Wei, Xia Wei, Chunhong Song, Fushun Wang, Jibiao Wu

“…The hypothalamus and hippocampus of each group modelling PMS displayed the following features: decreased expression of Ulip2, tubulin beta chain 15, α actin, and interleukin 1 receptor accessory protein; increased expression of kappa-B motif-binding phosphoprotein; decreased expression of hydrolase at the end of ubiquitin carboxy, albumin, and aldolase protein; and increased expression of M2 pyruvate kinase, panthenol-cytochrome C reductase core protein I, and calcium-binding protein. Contrasting with previous studies, the current study identified new proteins related to PMS irritability. …”
