Aberrant chromatin remodeling influences human neural cell fate change in Trisomy 21

Jenny A. Klein, Suraj Upadhya, Anna J. Nathanson, Dana Silvian, Eric F. Zaniewski, Robert Morris, Wilhelm Haas, Lindy E. Barrett

This study identifies aberrant chromatin remodeling in Trisomy 21 NPCs that impairs neurogenesis and shows that PRC2 inhibition can partially restore neurogenic potential.

A neuropeptide modulates sensory perception in the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema carpocapsae

Robert Morris, Leonie Wilson, Neil D Warnock, Daniel Carrizo, Deborah Cox, Matthew Sturrock, Kilian McGrath, Aaron G Maule, Johnathan Dalzell

This paper uses RNA interference to knock down a neuropeptide gene in Steinernema carpocapsae, showing its role in sensory perception and host-finding behaviors.
