Astrocyte heterogeneity reveals region-specific astrogenesis in the white matter - Nature Neuroscience

White matter (WM) astrocytes differ significantly from gray matter astrocytes, with WM astrocytes in the forebrain exhibiting unique proliferation capacity, which is absent in cerebellar WM, suggestin...

Delighted to have this out as a preprint! Thanks to all authors, especially @estherkli.bsky.social and @djabaudon.bsky.social for leading the work. If you are interested in how conserved genes played a part in evolving human brains, give it a read!

✨ We tend to think of species-specific differences as resulting from the presence of species-specific genes. In our latest work with @djabaudon.bsky.social, we show that building brains is not only about which genes you use, but also about when and where you do. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
