Purification and characterization of human neural stem and progenitor cells
A framework for the prospective isolation of neural stem and progenitor cells from
the developing human brain is provided to facilitate the functional study of distinct
cell types in human neurodevelo...

First post on the new site—thought it would be fitting to re-share some of my (hopefully not already too old) work from my PhD on the neural stem cell hierarchy in human brain development: "Purification and characterization of human neural stem and progenitor cells“ 1/

Schizophrenia is highly heritable, and one of its strongest GWAS hits is actually a microRNA called MIR137. But where and when MIR137 is expressed has been a bit of a mystery, until now. A thread on a new preprint led by Alina Isakova and @stephenquake.bsky.social 1/

Modeling glioma intratumoral heterogeneity with primary human neural stem and progenitor cells
Gliomas are characterized by extensive intratumoral heterogeneity, recapitulating
a hierarchy reminiscent of normal neurodevelopment. This facet is difficult to recapitulate
in disease models. Here, W...

Cortical Development 2022 was the first conference I ever attended, and so it was particularly special to return to Sicily for @corticodevelopment.bsky.social 2025 as a speaker. Featuring a sneak peak on some exciting new findings on neural stem cells in the postnatal human brain (stay tuned!)

Weissman Lab representing at the @isscr.org Athens International Symposium on Neural Stem Cells! Glad to share our work on purifying neural stem/progenitor cells from the human brain, and a preview of our work using those cells to model glioma heterogeneity.
