The paper develops a computational pipeline to enrich rare inhibitory neurons in scRNA-seq data, revealing three distinct modes of diversification in SST+ neurons during cortical development.

The paper identifies small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) as inhibitors of CNS regeneration by altering the structural and mechanical properties of the injury ECM.

This study identifies cMet/HGFR as a modulator of early neuroinflammation in TBI, showing that its inhibition reduces microglial reactivity and improves recovery.

The paper identifies spinal inhibitory interneurons involved in sensorimotor adaptation through electrophysiological recordings and behavioral analysis in mice.
