Ependymal cell maturation is heterogeneous and ongoing in the mouse spinal cord and dynamically regulated in response to injury

This study profiles adult mouse spinal cord ependymal cells using single-cell RNA-sequencing, revealing a new mature state and dynamic maturation regulation in response to injury.

Spatiotemporal control of cell cycle acceleration during axolotl spinal cord regeneration

The paper uses modeling and experimental data to show that a signal recruits ependymal cells within a specific spatiotemporal window during axolotl spinal cord regeneration.

Multiple steps mediate ventricular layer attrition to form the adult mouse spinal cord central canal

This study identifies multiple steps in spinal cord ventricular layer attrition during development, revealing heterogeneous cell origins and signaling pathway changes in the adult central canal.

Lineage tracing axial progenitors using Nkx1.2CreERT2 mice defines their trunk and tail contributions

This study generates Nkx1.2CreERT2 mice to label axial progenitors, showing they contribute to trunk and tail tissues in mice.

Accelerated cell divisions drive the outgrowth of the regenerating spinal cord in axolotls

This study identifies a dynamic high-proliferation zone in axolotl regenerating spinal cord and shows accelerated cell divisions drive outgrowth.

Fate mapping caudal lateral epiblast reveals continuous contribution to neural and mesodermal lineages and the origin of secondary neural tube

This study uses a mouse model to show that caudal lateral epiblast cells contribute to both neural and mesodermal lineages and identify a new neuromesodermal progenitor pool in the tailbud mesenchyme.
