    Muscle-resident mesenchymal progenitors sense and repair peripheral nerve injury via the GDNF-BDNF axis

    Kyusang Yoo, Young-Woo Jo ... Young-Yun Kong
    GDNF receptor-expressing mesenchymal progenitor subpopulation within skeletal muscle responds to peripheral nerve injury by sensing GDNF and secreting BDNF, thereby directly promoting nerve regeneration through facilitating remyelination by Schwann cells.

    Hippocampal-occipital connectivity reflects autobiographical memory deficits in aphantasia

    Merlin Monzel, Pitshaporn Leelaarporn ... Cornelia McCormick
    The autobiographical memory deficits seen in aphantasia are reflected by altered activation and connectivity patterns of the hippocampus and occipital cortex, corroborating the strong link between memory and mental imagery.

    Reprogramming: A perfect recipe for a corticospinal neuron

    Alfonso Aguilera, Marta Nieto
    A tailored cocktail of genes can reprogram a subset of progenitors to no longer produce glial cells and instead develop into neurons involved in motor control.
