A molecular atlas of cell-type specific signatures in the parkinsonian striatum.

This study maps cell-type specific transcriptional changes in the parkinsonian striatum across species, identifying vulnerable and resilient cell types.

The immunological profile of RC17 hESC-derived dopaminergic neural progenitor cells in vitro: implications for the STEM-PD clinical trial.

The paper assesses the immunogenicity of RC17 hESC-derived dopaminergic neural progenitor cells, finding they are immunosuppressive and similar to fetal tissue, suggesting reduced need for aggressive immunosuppression post-transplantation.

Distinct axo-protective and axo-destructive roles for Schwann cells after injury in a novel compartmentalised mouse myelinating coculture system.

This paper introduces a novel mouse myelinating Schwann cell-DRG coculture system to study axon protection and degradation after injury.

SARM1 detection in oligodendrocytes but not Schwann cells though sarm1/Sarm1 deletion does not perturb CNS nor PNS myelination in zebrafish and mice.

The paper shows SARM1 is present in oligodendrocytes but not Schwann cells, and its deletion does not affect myelination in zebrafish or mice.

Failures of nerve regeneration caused by aging or chronic denervation are rescued by restoring Schwann cell c-Jun

The paper shows that restoring Schwann cell c-Jun rescues nerve regeneration failures in aging and chronic denervation by enhancing regenerative support.
