Reactive astrocyte nomenclature, definitions, and future directions

Carole Escartin, +88 more
- 15 Feb 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors point out the shortcomings of binary divisions of reactive astrocytes into good-vs-bad, neurotoxic vs-neuroprotective or A1-vs.A2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploring tissue architecture using spatial transcriptomics.

TL;DR: Spatial transcriptomics can also be used for hypothesis testing using experimental designs that compare time points or conditions, including genetic or environmental perturbations as mentioned in this paper, and is naturally amenable to integration with other data modalities, providing an expandable framework for insight into tissue organization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integrating single-cell and spatial transcriptomics to elucidate intercellular tissue dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, a suite of recently developed techniques that localize RNA within tissue, including multiplexed in situ hybridization and in situ sequencing (here defined as high-plex RNA imaging) and spatial barcoding, can help address this issue.

SpaGCN: Integrating gene expression, spatial location and histology to identify spatial domains and spatially variable genes by graph convolutional network.

TL;DR: Analyzing five spatially resolved transcriptomics datasets using SpaGCN, it is shown it can detect genes with much more enriched spatial expression patterns than existing methods and are transferrable and can be utilized to study spatial variation of gene expression in other datasets.

Molecular characterization of selectively vulnerable neurons in Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: This article identified RORB as a marker of selectively vulnerable excitatory neurons in the entorhinal cortex and subsequently validated their depletion and selective susceptibility to neurofibrillary inclusions during disease progression using quantitative neuropathological methods.

Fiji: an open-source platform for biological-image analysis

TL;DR: Fiji is a distribution of the popular open-source software ImageJ focused on biological-image analysis that facilitates the transformation of new algorithms into ImageJ plugins that can be shared with end users through an integrated update system.
Journal ArticleDOI

edgeR: a Bioconductor package for differential expression analysis of digital gene expression data.

TL;DR: EdgeR as mentioned in this paper is a Bioconductor software package for examining differential expression of replicated count data, which uses an overdispersed Poisson model to account for both biological and technical variability and empirical Bayes methods are used to moderate the degree of overdispersion across transcripts, improving the reliability of inference.

Neuropathological stageing of Alzheimer-related changes.

Heiko Braak, +1 more
TL;DR: The investigation showed that recognition of the six stages required qualitative evaluation of only a few key preparations, permitting the differentiation of six stages.

Genome-wide atlas of gene expression in the adult mouse brain

Ed S. Lein, +109 more
- 11 Jan 2007 - 
TL;DR: An anatomically comprehensive digital atlas containing the expression patterns of ∼20,000 genes in the adult mouse brain is described, providing an open, primary data resource for a wide variety of further studies concerning brain organization and function.
Journal ArticleDOI

A General Framework for Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis

TL;DR: A general framework for `soft' thresholding that assigns a connection weight to each gene pair is described and several node connectivity measures are introduced and provided empirical evidence that they can be important for predicting the biological significance of a gene.
