The paper shows that ependymal cell cilia beating regulates neural stem cell quiescence through mechanical forces involving PKD1/2 and TRPM3.

The paper identifies age-related changes in cortical astrocytes, including impaired Wnt signaling and Jun transcription factors, using single-cell RNA-seq and multiome analysis in mice.

This study identifies injury-induced plastic astrocytes in mice that exhibit self-renewal and neurosphere-forming capabilities, resembling transit-amplifying progenitors in transcriptional profile.

The paper identifies a shared inflammatory glial cell signature after brain injury using spatial and single-cell transcriptomics in mice, showing common injury-regulated genes across astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocyte precursor cells.
