Thrilled to share our latest preprint using single nuq sequencing and Xenium to define neuron organisation and sex differences in glia within human spinal cord. Truly a collaborative effort, with a big shoutout to Katherin Gabriel and @tedpricethepainguy.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A molecular map of the human spinal dorsal and ventral horn defines arrangement of neuronal types and glial sex differences
The spinal cord is the gateway for sensory information from the body as it ascends to the brain, as well as a major motor output center of the nervous system. It is also a key location for sensory-mot...

New preprint from the spinal cord group at Glasgow. Anatomical and functional characterisation of spinal circuits for cold, from sensory neurons to the brain…..https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.03.680240v1
Labelled axons of calb1+ spinal projection neurons innervate multiple brain targets associated with cold sensation and thermoregulation. Darkfield images of different brain areas including the postal parabrachial and periaqueductal grey are shown with axons of ascending cells in yellow.

It's #fluorescencefriday so here are some lovely TRMP8-expressing cold-sensing sensory neurons in a mouse DRG. DAPI nuclei in green and TRPM8 mRNA in magenta.
Cells of the mouse dorsal root ganglion. Cold sensing sensory neurons are small cells and are stained with HCR in situ hybridisation probes against TRPM8 mRNA

Seems like a good idea to move over to here! What better way to start than our new preprint.... Anatomy of a fascinating molecularly defined subset of spinal projection neurons...... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Anatomical characterisation of somatostatin-expressing neurons belonging to the anterolateral system
Anterolateral system (ALS) spinal projection neurons are essential for pain perception. However, these cells are heterogeneous, and there has been extensive debate about the roles of ALS populations i...
