The paper uses spatial transcriptomics to show reactive glial populations are spatially associated with neuronal growth in both hemispheres after stroke.

The paper identifies age-associated B cells (ABCs) in the CNS that develop from a localized progenitor pool and contribute to impaired post-stroke recovery in mice.

The paper compares gene expression in perilesional and contralesional cortex after stroke, finding shared inflammatory responses and microglia signaling in both regions across sexes.

SpinalTRAQ quantifies the CST synaptic projectome in cervical spinal cords of healthy and post-stroke mice, revealing changes in connectivity and plasticity.
