Glial cell diversity and methamphetamine-induced neuroinflammation in human cerebral organoids

Jason Dang et al.

Summary: By utilizing human cerebral organoids and single-cell RNA sequencing, the study found that METH exposure during prenatal development affects fetal brain development by influencing neural stem cell proliferation, differentiation, and cell death, and induces neuroinflammation. These findings suggest that human cerebral organoids can serve as a model system to study drug-induced neuroinflammation at single-cell resolution.

SARS-CoV-2 entry into human airway organoids is serine protease-mediated and facilitated by the multibasic cleavage site

Anna Z. Mykytyn et al.

Summary: The entry of coronavirus is mediated by the spike protein, which is cleaved by different proteases depending on cell lines. Studies have shown that the presence of a multibasic cleavage site (MBCS) in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein increases infectivity in human airway cells. The virus enters cells using serine proteases, indicating that the MBCS may be an adaptation to this viral entry strategy.

Identification of SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors using lung and colonic organoids

Yuling Han et al.

Summary: Researchers have developed lung and colonic organoid models using human pluripotent stem cells, which demonstrate susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection. These models are valuable for studying the infection of the virus and screening drugs, with potential therapeutic implications for COVID-19.
