Axon regeneration can be induced across anatomically complete spinal cord injury (SCI), but robust functional restoration has been elusive. Whether restoring neurological functions requires directed of axons from specific neuronal subpopulations to their natural target regions remains unclear. To address this question, we applied projection-specific and comparative single-nucleus RNA sequencing identify that restore walking after incomplete SCI. We show chemoattracting guiding the transected...
Here, we introduce the Tabulae Paralytica —a compilation of four atlases spinal cord injury (SCI) comprising a single-nucleus transcriptome atlas half million cells; multiome pairing transcriptomic and epigenomic measurements within same nuclei; two spatial injured spanning temporal dimensions. We integrated these into common framework to dissect molecular logic that governs responses cord. The exposed new biological principles dictate consequences SCI, including conserved divergent neuronal...
Autonomic dysreflexia is a life-threatening medical condition characterized by episodes of uncontrolled hypertension that occur in response to sensory stimuli after spinal cord injury (SCI) 1–7 . The fragmented understanding the mechanisms underlying autonomic hampers development therapeutic strategies manage this condition, leaving people with SCI at daily risk heart attack and stroke 8–18 Here, we expose complete de novo neuronal architecture develops causes dysreflexia. In parallel,...
We introduce Vespucci, a machine-learning method to identify perturbation-responsive regions, genes and gene programs within comparative spatial transcriptomics atlases. validate Vespucci on simulated published datasets show that it outperforms 19 computational methods for transcriptomics. apply expose the organization of activated by therapies guide repair injured spinal cord.
We studied whether progression of severe pneumonia into post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS) is associated with long-term immune dysregulation. Patients known history during two different time periods and matched comparators were divided a discovery cohort (n=46, September-October 2020) validation (n=484, June-August 2021). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) stimulated for cytokine production, patient-reported questionnaires lung function tests (LFTs) analyzed. Increased production...
