A Single-Nuclei Paired Multiomic Analysis of the Human Midbrain Reveals Age- and Parkinson’s Disease–Associated Glial Changes

A Single-Nuclei Paired Multiomic Analysis of the Human Midbrain Reveals Age- and Parkinson’s Disease–Associated Glial Changes

Single-nucleus Multi-omics Analysis Reveals Age-related and Parkinson’s Disease-related Changes in Neuroglia in the Human Midbrain Research Background Age is a major risk factor for Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Although the significant role of age in PD onset is known, details about how age alters the gene expression and regulatory landscape of the br...

Phasic/Tonic Glial GABA Differentially Transduce for Olfactory Adaptation and Neuronal Aging

Phasic/Tonic Glial GABA Differentially Transduce for Olfactory Adaptation and Neuronal Aging

Background Gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, regulating neuronal activity and plasticity through two distinct modes: phasic and tonic. However, our understanding of the mechanisms and physiological functions of GABA transmission in glial cells remains limited. Glial cells, especially astrocytes, ca...

Distinct Ultrastructural Phenotypes of Glial and Neuronal Alpha-Synuclein Inclusions in Multiple System Atrophy

Different Ultrastructural Phenotypes of α-Synuclein Inclusions in Glia and Neurons in Brain Regions of Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) Introduction Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is a severe neurodegenerative disease characterized by abnormal accumulation of α-Synuclein (α-Syn) in specific brain regions, forming pathological inclusions that primarily ...
