Spatially resolved multi-omics deciphers bidirectional tumor-host interdependence in glioblastoma
Vidhya M. Ravi et al. Cancer Cell , 2022 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccell.2022.05.009 Summary Glioblastomas are malignant tumors of the central nervous system hallmarked by subclonal diversity and dynamic adaptation amid developmental hierarchies. The source of dynamic reorganization within the spatial context of these tumors remains elusive. Here, we characterized glioblastomas by spatially resolved transcriptomics, metabolomics, and proteomics. By deciphering regionally shar


The Blood−Brain Barrier (BBB) Score
Mayuri Gupta, Hyeok Jun Lee, Christopher J. Barden, and Donald F. Weaver 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.9b01220 Abstract The blood−brain barrier (BBB) protects the brain from the toxic side effects of drugs and exogenous molecules. However, it is crucial that medications developed for neurological disorders cross into the brain in therapeutic concentrations. Understanding the BBB interaction with drug molecules based on physicochemical property space can guide effective and efficient d

This is true in particular for genetically complex diseases, where i


Loss of Rsph9 causes neonatal hydrocephalus with abnormal development of motile cilia in mice.
Wenzheng Zou, Yuqing Lv, Zux iang Liu, Pengyan Xia, Hong Li & Jianwei Jiao Scientific reports, 24 July 2020 http://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-69447-4 Abstract: Hydrocephalus is a brain disorder triggered by cerebrospinal fluid accumulation in brain cavities. Even though cerebrospinal fluid flow is known to be driven by the orchestrated beating of the bundled motile cilia of ependymal cells, little is known about the mechanism of ciliary motility. RSPH9 is increasingly becomin


Sox2-overexpressing neural stem cells alleviate ventricular enlargement and neurological dysfunction in posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus.
Gao, Baocheng, Wang, Haoxiang, Hu, Shuang, Zhong, Kunhong, Liu, Xiaoyin1, Deng, Ziang1, Li, Yuanyou1, Tong, Aiping4, Zhou, Liangxue Neural Regeneration Research, April 30, 2025 https://doi.org/10.4103/NRR.NRR-D-24-01491 Abstract (영문) Neural stem cells (NSCs) possess self-renewal and multipotent differentiation capabilities, offering potential for treating neurological diseases. However, their survival rate after transplantation in ischemic and hypoxic environments such as p


Transcriptome analysis reveals tumor microenvironment changes in glioblastoma
Hoogstrate et al Cancer Cell , 2023 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccell.2023.02.019 Summary A better understanding of transcriptional evolution of IDH-wild-type glioblastoma may be crucial for treatment optimization. Here, we perform RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) (n = 322 test, n = 245 validation) on paired primary-recurrent glioblastoma resections of patients treated with the current standard of care. Transcriptional subtypes form an interconnected continuum in a two-dimensional spac


ChemBounce: a computational framework for scaffold hopping in drug discovery
Woo Dae Jang, Changdai Gu, Yumi Noh, Kwang-Seok, Jae Yong Ryu https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btaf501 Scaffold hopping is a critical strategy in medicinal chemistry for generating novel and patentable drug candidates. Here, we present ChemBounce, a computational framework designed to facilitate scaffold hopping by generating structurally diverse scaffolds with high synthetic accessibility. Given a user-supplied molecule in SMILES format, ChemBounce identifies the core
