Excited to share our new paper in Nature Communications!
We mapped how extracellular matrix (matrisome) genes shape human cortical development and how their dysregulation is linked to neurodevelopmental disorders.

New preprint!
We present a new human iPSC-derived hippocampal organoid model that recapitulates key features of hippocampal development and neurogenesis.

These organoids maintain organized neural stem cell niches, support ongoing neurogenesis, and generate hippocampus-specific neurons.
We used the model to study prenatal glucocorticoid exposure, which reduced NSC proliferation and drove a precocious quiescent-like state.

Transcriptomic and functional analyses reveal that glucocorticoid signalling enforces NSC quiescence through autophagy-linked programs, limiting hippocampal growth.

Fascinating talk 💡by Dr. Muhammad Assir (@drzamankhan) on how IL-17A disrupts cortical development in a 3D ex vivo MIA model—triggering early folding, increased thickness & neuronal maturation. 🧠📚 #AnatSocSummer25 #AnatSocOxford

Wonderful presentation by David Berg from @aberdeenuni on how using
human tissue and 3D
organoid modelling helps understand better the neurogenic niche of the developing dentate gyrus and its relevance in neurodevelopmental disorders 👏 #AnatSocSummer25 #AnatSocOxford

🎓 Congratulations to Dr Do Hyeon Gim on a brilliant PhD defense! His thesis uncovers cell-type and temporal-specific matrisome expression signatures in human cortical development and neurodevelopmental disorders. Read it here: doi.org/10.1101/2025.02.24.6…

Including an interesting panel discussion on advantages and limitations of existing iPSC models @neural_lab.
It appears, however, that there are many outstanding questions in the organoid field that require further discussions and consensus in the field.

🚨 New findings! 🚨Maternal inflammation doesn’t just change the cellular makeup of the developing human cortex—it extensively remodels its extracellular matrix.
In our latest work, we dive deep into the effects of IL-17A, key cytokine in maternal inflammation, on developing🧠.🧵
