In our work out in @Cellreports we have made significant strides in regenerating neurons from glia. We find the combination of Ascl1 with Atoh-transcription factors significantly improves the ability of Muller glia to regenerate neurons. cell.com/cell-reports/fullte… Quick summary:

Another one bites the neurons. Impressive serial EM study of mouse visual cortex during critical period. Oligodendrocyte precursors engulf axons & contain phagolysosomes and neuron-derived RNAs . @JoJoBuchanan1 da Costa lab @AllenInstitute biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our neighbors and friends in the OBM lab in eLife today! They used scRNA-seq to characterize the development of the crista (responsible for sensing rotation). Little was known about this structure so read it to learn about new cell types! @OliviaMcdonogh elifesciences.org/articles/6…
