Why do human neurons mature so slowly? Two studies from the lab tackle this issue. The first study led by @gabriele_ciceri identifies an epigenetic barrier that sets protracted maturation timing of human neurons already at the neural precursor stage bit.ly/39bgxi6

📢📢📢How can we obtain a robust outer radial glia (oRG) population in 🧠organoids from guided differentiation? Exogenous LIF does the trick.
Our new paper shows that cortical pericytes are among the cell types secreting LIF. Adding pericytes to cortical organoids recapitulates oRG emergence, highlighting the importance of the microenvironment in shaping the diversity and differentiation of neural progenitor cells.

Interesting and very timely forum piece from @TabarViviane and Roger Barker @CellStemCell on the role of sham surgery in the development of PSC-based CNS cell therapies.
A possibly controversial perspective as we look forward to the next decade of #stemcell therapies.
Sham surgery for the trialing of cell-based therapies to the CNS may not be necessary: Cell Stem Cell cell.com/cell-stem-cell/full…
