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!
