Exciting News! 🎉
🔬 Scientists have uncovered a new protein in a pathway for neurotoxicity and cell death with therapeutic development potential in the fight against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
This new study, published today in Nature from @NaturePortfolio, takes us one step forward in understanding the key mechanisms behind ALS.
With the urgent need for human cellular models to study such pathologies, scientists have developed a new 2D cell culture model with features mirroring those of human brains. 🧠
Delving deeper into the effects of the abnormal accumulation of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), involved in diseases like ALS, scientists identified a new player – a protein called neuronal pentraxin 2 (NPTX2) – that teams up with TDP-43 to induce neurotoxic effects.
👏 Congratulations to Dr. Marián Hruška-Plocháň from Prof. Dr. Magdalini Polymenidou’s lab at the Department of Quantitative Biomedicine, University of Zurich, and all authors for this groundbreaking study!
🤝 The work was done in collaboration with the ETH-Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE), ETH Zürich; the Department of Molecular Life Sciences, SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, Brain Research Institute, and Institute of Neuropathology, University of Zurich; Masaryk University Brno, Czech Republic; UCL Institute of Neurology, UK; the University of Bern; and NCCR RNA & Disease Technology Platform, Switzerland.
#MaxOne high-density microelectrode arrays (HD-MEAs) were utilized in the functional characterization of the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neuronal cell lines developed in the study.
💯 With the high resolution and high data quality provided by the HD-MEAs, it was possible to extract the activity of these neurons at unprecedented detail, accessing network, cellular and subcellular features, revealing developed interconnected networks and coordinated firing.
💡 The study findings not only propose NPTX2 as a potential new therapeutic target but also highlights the human cellular model developed by the authors as a promising tool for uncovering key human-specific characteristics of neurodegenerative diseases.
We can’t wait for the future outcomes of this project!

A capacidade humana de ser surpreendido diminui à medida que o cérebro se desenvolve. Estas conclusões explicam porque, enquanto para as crianças o mundo é cheio de surpresas, os adultos são mais difíceis de surpreender.

Thank you @UniBasel_en for such a nice article about our fresh off the press research article! Have a read and learn more on how the brain develops an understanding of surprising sounds 🧠 #auditory#brain#development#neuroscience
For children, the world is full of surprises. A research team led by @tania_barkat@DepBiomedicine has been using mice to decode how reactions to the unexpected develop in the growing brain.

Happy to share that a study developed during my #PhD has just been published in @ScienceAdvances!
We shed a light on how the brain develops an understanding of surprising sounds and how experience can influence such development 🧠👇
https://t.co/N8OKta61sI
The environment in which we grow up can also influence how we react to surprising sounds. We observed that rearing the young mice in a noise-neutral environment significantly delayed the processing of unexpected sounds in the auditory cortex.
Published today in @NatureElectron, Hongwei Cai and colleagues describe a hybrid system consisting of brain #organoids, MaxOne HD-#MEA system, and #AI setup known as Brainoware, as capable of performing speech recognition and nonlinear equation prediction: https://t.co/oR8Bwv7KpM
