Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling ALS with motor neurons derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells.

TL;DR: Common developmental principles of both lower and upper motor neuron development that have led to specific derivation techniques are discussed and how these motor neurons may be matured further either through direct expression or administration of specific factors or coculture approaches with other tissues are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of GluN2 subunit identity on NMDA receptor function

TL;DR: Some recent studies that have identified structural elements within GluN2 subunits that contribute to the heterogeneous biophysical properties of NMDARs are highlighted, and why some recently described novel pharmacological tools may permit better identification of native N MDAR subtypes are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of glycine potency in rat recombinant NMDA receptors containing chimeric NR2A/2D subunits expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes

TL;DR: It is concluded that the variation in glycine potency is caused by interactions between the NR1 and NR2 ligand‐binding domains that occur following agonist binding and which may be involved in the initial conformation changes that determine channel gating.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maturation and electrophysiological properties of human pluripotent stem cell-derived oligodendrocytes

TL;DR: It is established that the development of human oligodendroglia membrane properties closely resemble those found in rodent cells and have generated a platform to enable the impact of human neurodegenerative disease‐causing mutations on oligod endodendrocyte maturation to be studied.
