Many scientists have long thought that a single type of starter cell gives rise to the entire brain. But experiments now challenge that fundamental picture, providing evidence that it takes not one but two flavours of progenitor cell to make the complex organ.

Spoiler alert: you have two brains. The front of your brain and the back of your brain were never the same organ. They start as two different cells, in two different places, and they have been separate lineages for something like 550 million years.

How does brain tissue become data? Through a massive collaborative effort supported by the Brain Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN), learn how scientists are creating a comprehensive map of the human brain.
Call for applications! The ISSCR invites early career investigators to apply to become an #ISSCR2027 Ambassador. Applications are due 23 October 2026. Learn more 👉isscr2027.org/ambassador

In this week’s issue of @Nature, @sajadtweets, @evsemenza, @danlimlab & their colleagues uncover how a gene's location — at the nuclear lamina in storage or near nuclear speckles — plays a key role in regulating its activity during human brain development. neurosurgery.ucsf.edu/news/t…

Meet Lexi Schneider from the Yang Lab! She's developing a groundbreaking tool called TORCH to help scientists understand how the brain and body talk to each other—something that's been notoriously hard to study.

Great piece by @GiorgiaWithAnI in @_TheTransmitter on work by @danlimlab in @Nature showing how nuclear location helps control gene activity during brain development:

“Family groups and patient organizations are absolutely central to research,” said Matthew State, MD, PhD, chief scientific advisor for Aligning Research to Impact Autism (ARIA) initiative and a scientific advisor for CIRM-funded projects: bit.ly/4gly8T3
ALT A neural network illustration using colorful pins and connectors forms the shape of a brain. Below, text reads: "CIRM funds collaborative projects that bring patient voices directly into the lab. Families, patient advocates, and scientists are teaming up to accelerate breakthroughs in profound autism spectrum disorder research through the CIRM ReMIND initiative."

CIRM launched a $10M program to fund open-source software that helps researchers integrate, analyze, and share regenerative medicine data.
The goal: turn complex datasets into faster discoveries.
