Excited to share our new paper in Nature Communications!
We mapped how extracellular matrix (matrisome) genes shape human cortical development and how their dysregulation is linked to neurodevelopmental disorders.

Our paper is out in Nature Neuroscience! 🧠
Really proud of this work and grateful to everyone who contributed.

Researchers from the University of Aberdeen have uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and intellectual disability may influence early brain development. abdn.io/1SE @kangberglab

Great new study highlighting the importance of ECM in both normal development and the pathogenesis of NDDs just published by Kang & Berg group

Delighted that the SAFeR Study was able to contribute.

Thanks to the authors Do Hyeon, @drzamankhan @GrumpybaldProf @OliviaSoper19 and Mike Morgan. Thanks for funding from @humane_research who helped make this possible! And @BBSRC @acmedsci @The_MRC @HorizonEU.

Neuroscientists at the University of Aberdeen have published a new study in Nature Communications. It maps how extracellular matrix (matrisome) genes shape human cortical development and are linked to neurodevelopmental disorders.

New preprint!
We present a new human iPSC-derived hippocampal organoid model that recapitulates key features of hippocampal development and neurogenesis.
Spearheaded by @OliviaSoper19 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
These organoids maintain organized neural stem cell niches, support ongoing neurogenesis, and generate hippocampus-specific neurons.
We used the model to study prenatal glucocorticoid exposure, which reduced NSC proliferation and drove a precocious quiescent-like state.
Transcriptomic and functional analyses reveal that glucocorticoid signalling enforces NSC quiescence through autophagy-linked programs, limiting hippocampal growth.

Fascinating talk 💡by Dr. Muhammad Assir (@drzamankhan) on how IL-17A disrupts cortical development in a 3D ex vivo MIA model—triggering early folding, increased thickness & neuronal maturation. 🧠📚 #AnatSocSummer25 #AnatSocOxford

Wonderful presentation by David Berg from @aberdeenuni on how using
human tissue and 3D
organoid modelling helps understand better the neurogenic niche of the developing dentate gyrus and its relevance in neurodevelopmental disorders 👏 #AnatSocSummer25 #AnatSocOxford

Heartfelt thanks to my PhD supervisor, Dr.
@neural_lab , and to my family, friends, and colleagues who supported me along the way. Here’s to new beginnings—and to making a difference. #Graduation #PhDJourney #LifelongLearning #Science #GrowthMindset #UniversityOfAberdeen

🎓 Congratulations to Dr Do Hyeon Gim on a brilliant PhD defense! His thesis uncovers cell-type and temporal-specific matrisome expression signatures in human cortical development and neurodevelopmental disorders. Read it here: doi.org/10.1101/2025.02.24.6…

Including an interesting panel discussion on advantages and limitations of existing iPSC models @neural_lab.
It appears, however, that there are many outstanding questions in the organoid field that require further discussions and consensus in the field.
Proud of my first PhD student Muhammad @drzamankhan who passed his viva! Great job! And thanks to Dr Theil and Dr Garden who gave valuable feedback. @AberdeenNeuro @aberdeenuni
