Grouping: cerebral cortices in vivo group and cultured cerebral organoids in vitro group. 2.  Sample collection: cortical tissues were collected from Kunming mouse embryos at embryonic day 7.5锛圗7.5锛�, E9.5, E11.5, E14.5, and postnatal day 3 (P3) or P7. Three specimens were taken from each group.

Mammalian retina exhibits very limited capacity for self-repair after degenerative disease or injury. In contrast, zebrafish retina possesses a robust regenerative response that regenerates all types of retinal neurons and restores vision. Retina regeneration in zebrafish depends on a type of glia cells called M眉ller glia. Following retinal injury, zebrafish M眉ller glia undergo a reprogramming process and proliferate into multipotent progenitor cells that further differentiate into newborn retinal neurons. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the field of M眉ller glia-based retina regeneration. Here we summarize the mechanisms governing zebrafish retina regeneration and the recent advances in mammalian M眉ller glia reprogramming. ]]> <![CDATA[Role and research progress of circular RNA in Alzheimer鈥檚 disease #br# <div> #br# </div>]]> The circular RNA (circRNA) is a class of endogenous expressed non-coding RNA that are formed by covalently closed cyclization through reverse splicing. In recent years, a variety of highly conserved and cell-type specific circRNA have been identified in eukaryotes. Alzheimer鈥檚 disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disease and the most common cause of dementia in the elderly. Recent studies had shown that circRNA was involved in the pathogenesis and development of AD, such as amyloid 尾-protein (A尾) metabolic, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, autophagy and synaptic plasticity. The role and application value of circRNA in AD pathology are reviewed to provide a theoretical basis for the application of circRNA in the treatment and diagnosis of AD. ]]> <![CDATA[Role and clinical significance of MLLT1 super elongation complex subunit in the occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma]]> Objective  To investigate the role of MLLT1 in hepatocellular carcinoma 锛圚CC锛塧nd its impact on the tumor immune microenvironment.    Methods  Multivariate Cox regression analysis and tumor gene analysis tools such as GEPIA and UALCAN were used to explore the expression of the MLLT1 gene and its prognostic significance in different tumors. Real-time PCR, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry were used to investigate the differential expression of MLLT1 between HCC tumor tissue and normal tissue. MTT assay and cell cycle analysis were performed to assess the effect of MLLT1 knockdown on cell proliferation and cell cycle. The correlation between MLLT1 and immune cells, as well as immune infiltrates in the tumor microenvironment, and their correlation with immune neoantigens, immune checkpoints, tumor mutation burden, and microsatellite instability were also explored.    Results  The MLLT1 gene was found to be aberrantly expressed in various solid tumors including HCC, and its high expression was associated with poor prognosis in HCC. Knockdown of MLLT1 inhibited HCC cell proliferation and blocked the cell cycle. High expression of MLLT1 was found to affect the content of multiple immune cells, including CD4+T cells and neutrophile granulocyte cells in the HCC microenvironment.    Conclusion  MLLT1 is highly expressed in HCC and knockdown of MLLT1 can inhibit HCC cell proliferation and block the cell cycle. MLLT1 has a certain degree of impact on the immune microenvironment of HCC. Therefore, MLLT1 may serve as a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for HCC. ]]> <![CDATA[Expression and prognostic significance of targeting protein for xenopus kinesin-like protein 2 in hepatocellular carcinoma]]>  Objective  To analyze the expression of targeting protein for xenopus kinesin-like protein 2(TPX2) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its clinical prognostic significance.    Methods  First, the expression levels, survival prognosis and correlation of TPX2 in HCC were analyzed using UALCAN, K-PLOT and HPA databases. Secondly, the TIMER, GEPIA, and SangerBox databases were used to analyze the immune cell infiltration of TPX2, its correlation with TP53 mutation, and the mutation landscape map. Finally, the co-expressed genes of TPX2 in HCC and their prognostic value were analyzed by HCCDB database, and the co-expressed genes were analyzed by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG) were analyzed by the HCCDB database.    Results  TPX2 was highly expressed in HCC and was not conducive to overall survival(OS), disease-specific survival(DSS), progression-free survival(PFS), and recurrence free survival(RFS) of HCC patients; and its presence in HCC was significantly correlated with tumor cell purity and multiple immune cells (B cells, CD4+T, and CD8+T, etc.); Furthermore, the expression level of TPX2 in HCC was significantly correlated with TP53 mutation. The area under curve(AUC) under receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve of TPX2 for the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year OS prognostic diagnosis in HCC patients was 0.73, 95% CI (0.669-0.79), 0.668, 95% CI (0.604-0.732) and 0.654,5% CI (0.574-0.734), respectively. Co-expressed genes of TPX2 were not conducive to OS of patient; its GO function was mainly enriched in mitosis and nuclear division, microtubule cytoskeleton, and KEGG was mainly enriched in cell cycle, oocyte meiosis and p53 signaling pathways, and AUC of the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year OS prognostic for HCC patients was 0.801, 95% CI (0.745-0.856), 0.725, 95% CI (0.667-0.786) and 0.711, 95% CI (0.635~0.788).      Conclusion  TPX2 is closely related to the occurrence of HCC, which is not conducive to the survival and prognosis of HCC patients, and can be served as a biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of HCC. ]]> <![CDATA[Screening ferroptosis related genes influencing prognosis of colon cancer through bioinformatics analysis]]> Objective  To explore ferroptosis-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) with prognostic significance in colon cancer (CC), and then construct a prognosis-related predictive scoring model.
