Downregulation of PTBP1 in neurons, but not astrocytes, alleviates motor symptoms in a Parkinson’s disease mouse model by inducing dopaminergic marker expression in striatal neurons and increasing striatal dopamine levels.
A single-nucleus atlas of bone repair uncovers the trajectories of periosteal skeletal stem/progenitor cells in response to fracture and identifies injury-induced fibrogenic cells as intermediate osteochondroprogenitors and key paracrine regulators.
Pituitary organoids help identify NFKB2 as a new actor during pituitary development, and mutations of this gene as the cause for pituitary deficit observed in patients with DAVID syndrome.
Dopaminergic and serotonergic neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus have distinct electrical and morphological properties, which are differentially altered following dopamine and noradrenaline depletion.
The distinct transcriptomic features of extraocular muscle satellite cells, partially mimicked by NaBu treatment, endow enhanced self-renewal and axon attraction, contribute to neuromuscular junction preservation during ALS progression.
The BTB zinc finger gene Bm-mamo regulates melanin pigmentation in silkworm caterpillars from multiple aspects, including melanin synthesis, pigment granules maturation, and cuticle construction.
