    Base editing of Ptbp1 in neurons alleviates symptoms in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease

    Desiree Böck, Maria Wilhelm ... Gerald Schwank
    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.

    Rejuvenating aged osteoprogenitors for bone repair

    Joshua Reeves, Pierre Tournier ... Shukry J Habib
    Short-term interventions, including intermittent fasting, boosting cellular energy, and promoting beneficial gut bacteria, rejuvenate osteoprogenitors in aged animals and, when combined with localized Wnt, restore youthful bone healing.

    A multiplexed, single-cell sequencing screen identifies compounds that increase neurogenic reprogramming of murine Muller glia

    Amy Tresenrider, Marcus Hooper ... Thomas A Reh
    An in vitro chemical screen with single-cell sequencing output leads to the identification of Metformin as an in vivo enhancer of Muller glia to neuron reprogramming in mice.

    Pharmacologically inducing regenerative cardiac cells by small molecule drugs

    Wei Zhou, Kezhang He ... Sheng Ding
    Induction of regenerative cardiac cells (RCCs) from human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes and neonatal rat cardiomyocytes using a novel two-compound treatment enhances heart function following myocardial infarction and offers a promising avenue for cardiac regeneration through transcriptional and epigenetic reprogramming.

    Single-nucleus transcriptomics reveal the differentiation trajectories of periosteal skeletal/stem progenitor cells in bone regeneration

    Simon Perrin, Maria Ethel ... Céline Colnot
    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.
