Rare mutations in NR4A2 (Nurr1) offer unexpected insights into the causes of autism.

[UCLA Neurology @UCLANeurology]

After years of unanswered questions, a rare NR4A2 gene mutation gave Franklin Henry and his family clarity, and sparked new research into the genetic roots of #autism. Now, he's helping @UCLAHealth researchers better understand how the brain develops.

🌟Sjöberg Laureate discovered new targets for cancer therapies in the immune system!🌟
@MiriamMerad, Mount Sinai Health System, USA, has studied how cells in the innate immune system affect the body’s ability to fight tumours. Her discoveries have hugely contributed to making these cells a promising target for the development of new cancer therapies. She is now awarded the Sjöberg Prize, worth one million US dollars.

The ependymal derivatives of mDA progenitors in the adult retained several mDA progenitor characteristics but also expressed, e.g., Pdyn, the precursor of opioid peptides. These specific ependymal cells might form a novel type of circumventricular organ. 4/5
