The paper maps conserved cell type signatures in the adult mouse brainstem and spinal cord using multi-omics data, revealing shared and region-specific features.

The paper reveals the external globus pallidus (GPe) as a basal ganglia output hub with distinct subpopulations that mediate specific behaviors through projection-specific circuits.

This study identifies miR-9-2 as a regulator of retinal progenitor cell competence and Müller glial identity, showing its role in timing cell specification and disease risk.

The paper develops a cross-species enhancer-AAV toolkit for targeting specific cell types in the basal ganglia across species, validated in mouse and macaque.

The paper creates a cross-species spinal cord cell type atlas integrating data from mouse, macaque, and human, identifying conserved and species-specific features.

The paper analyzes the transcriptomic and spatial organization of GABAergic neurons in the mouse telencephalon, revealing complex developmental and spatial relationships across multiple brain regions.

The paper constructs a high-resolution transcriptomic and epigenomic atlas of the developing mouse visual cortex, revealing continuous cell type diversification across embryonic and postnatal stages.

The paper shows that hair cell regeneration in zebrafish inner ear occurs via transdifferentiation of supporting cells, not through progenitor division.

The paper maps the connectivity of rostral and caudal forelimb corticospinal neurons to spinal cell types, showing similar targets with notable differences in influence on behavior.

The paper identifies cell-class-specific cis-regulatory elements in human retina and organoids, showing their correlation and function in development and disease.

This study identifies gene regulatory networks controlling retinal development by integrating single-cell RNA and ATAC-seq data from mouse and human retinas, revealing transcription factors that regulate temporal patterning and cell fate.

The paper identifies distinct support cell progenitor populations in zebrafish lateral line that differ in their ability to regenerate hair cells and are regulated by Notch signaling.
