This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to trace the developmental trajectory of olfactory epithelium in mice, identifying Ascl1+ cells as multipotent progenitors that become transcriptionally primed over time.

This study identifies a latent activated stem cell state in olfactory epithelium using single-cell transcriptomic and epigenomic profiling during injury-induced regeneration.

The paper identifies transcriptional networks in developing mouse projection neurons by correlating chromatin accessibility with gene expression to understand cell fate diversity.

The paper investigates how homeostatic plasticity alters synaptic protein interactions, showing that Homer1 and Shank3B are critical for structural rearrangements during synaptic scaling.
