A Role for Astrocyte Metabolism in Species-Specific Neuronal Development

Sheila C. Steiner, Kaia Foster, Rebecca Chinn, Joshua M. Pratt, Sarah Fernandes, Amandeep Sharma, Renata Santos, Christian M. Metallo, Maria Carolina Marchetto, Fred H. Gage

This study shows that human astrocytes have distinct metabolic profiles compared to non-human primate astrocytes, which influence neuronal development timing and trajectories.

A PERTURBATION CELL ATLAS OF HUMAN INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS

Sami Nourreddine, Yesh Doctor, Amir Dailamy, Antoine Forget, Yi-Hung Lee, Rebecca Chinn, Hammza Khaliq, Benjamin J. Polacco, Monita Muralidharan, Emily Pan, Yifan Zhang, Alina Sigaeva, Jan N. Hansen, Jiahao Gao, Jillian A. Parker, , Prashant Mali

The paper generates a CRISPRi perturbation cell atlas in human induced pluripotent stem cells, identifies novel regulators of pluripotency and metabolism, and proposes a machine learning framework for predicting perturbation recipes.
