Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT)-expressing cells mark a novel stem cell population in the adult mouse brain

Gabriel S. Jensen, Ashleigh Nicole Beaulieu, Caroline Dean Curtis, Joshua P. Passarelli, Magdalena Blaszkiewicz, Seth Thomas, Trevor J. Morin, Jake W. Willows, Callie W. Greco, Ciara J. Brennan, Christopher Aniapam, Lydia Caron, Michele Joana Alves, Matthew D. Lynes, Diana L. Carlone, , Kristy L. Townsend

This study identifies TERT-expressing cells as a novel multipotent stem cell population in the adult mouse brain, capable of differentiating into multiple cell types.

The Presence of Myelinated Nerves and Schwann Cells in White Adipose Tissue: Proximity to Synaptic Vesicle Containing Nerve Terminals and Potential Role in BTBR ob/ob Demyelinating Diabetic Neuropathy

Jake W. Willows, Gilian Gunsch, Emma Paradie, Magdalena Blaszkiewicz, Jeffrey R. Tonniges, Maria F. Pino, Steven R. Smith, Lauren Marie Sparks, Kristy L. Townsend

The paper investigates the presence of myelinated nerves and Schwann cells in white adipose tissue, finding demyelination in obese BTBR ob/ob mice and its association with neuropathy.

Visualization and Analysis of Whole Depot Adipose Tissue Neural Innervation

Jake W. Willows, Magdalena Blaszkiewicz, Amy Lamore, Samuel Borer, Amanda L. Dubois, Emma Garner, William P. Breeding, Karissa Beth Tilbury, André Khalil, Kristy L. Townsend

The paper introduces a method to visualize and quantify adipose tissue innervation by compressing tissue and using autofluorescence quenching, enabling whole tissue imaging and neurite density analysis in mice.
