Brain Plasticity in Humans and Model Systems: Advances, Challenges, and Future Directions

TL;DR: A review of recent studies focused on brain plasticity across the lifespan and in different species can be found in this paper, where the authors discuss their recent progress aimed to identify corresponding ages across species, and how this information can be used to map temporal variation in plasticity from model systems to humans.

In vivo glia‐to‐neuron conversion: pitfalls and solutions

TL;DR: In vivo glia‐to‐neuron (GtN) conversion emerges as a potential solution for regeneration‐based therapeutics that takes advantage of the regenerative ability of resident glial cells to produce new neurons through cell fate reprogramming.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ectopic insert-dependent neuronal expression of GFAP promoter-driven AAV constructs in adult mouse retina

TL;DR: Strong insert-dependent effects on AAV-based GFAP mini promoter specificity that preclude its use in inferring cell lineage relationships when studying glia-to-neuron conversion in retina are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo astrocyte-to-neuron reprogramming for central nervous system regeneration: a narrative review

TL;DR: Progress in reprogramming astrocytes into neurons in vivo in animal models of spinal cord injury, brain injury, Huntington's disease, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’S disease, and other neurodegenerative conditions is summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Excessive local host-graft connectivity in aging and amyloid-loaded brain

TL;DR: State-of-the-art deep proteome analysis using mass spectrometry highlights complement system activation as a common denominator of environments promoting excessive local input connectivity in both amyloid-loaded and aged environments.

Ageing and parkinson's disease: substantia nigra regional selectivity

Julian Fearnley, +1 more
- 01 Oct 1991 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that age-related attrition of pigmented nigral cells is not an important factor in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease and the regional selectivity of PD is relatively specific.

Cell types in the mouse cortex and hippocampus revealed by single-cell RNA-seq

TL;DR: Large-scale single-cell RNA sequencing is used to classify cells in the mouse somatosensory cortex and hippocampal CA1 region and found 47 molecularly distinct subclasses, comprising all known major cell types in the cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Architecture of the Mouse Nervous System.

TL;DR: RNA sequencing of half a million single cells was used to create a detailed census of cell types in the mouse nervous system and mapped cell types spatially and derived a hierarchical, data-driven taxonomy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dopamine neurons derived from human ES cells efficiently engraft in animal models of Parkinson’s disease

TL;DR: A novel floor-plate-based strategy for the derivation of human DA neurons that efficiently engraft in vivo is presented, suggesting that past failures were due to incomplete specification rather than a specific vulnerability of the cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intravascular AAV9 preferentially targets neonatal neurons and adult astrocytes

TL;DR: It is shown that adeno-associated virus (AAV) 9 injected intravenously bypasses the BBB and efficiently targets cells of the central nervous system (CNS) and may enable the development of gene therapies for a range of neurodegenerative diseases.
