ISSCR standards for the use of human stem cells in basic research

Matthias Lütolf

The laboratory culture of human stem cells seeks to capture a cellular state as an in vitro surrogate of a biological system. For the results and outputs from this research to be accurate, meaning-ful, and durable, standards that ensure reproducibility and ...

Novel Design and Implementation of a Neuromuscular Controller on a Hip Exoskeleton for Partial Gait Assistance

Auke Ijspeert, Mohamed Bouri, Andrea Di Russo, Ali Reza Manzoori, Sara Messara

Exoskeletons intended for partial assistance of walking should be able to follow the gait pattern of their users, via online adaptive control strategies rather than imposing predefined kinetic or kinematic profiles. NeuroMuscular Controllers (NMCs) are ada ...

Brain matters: unveiling the distinct contributions of region, age, and sex to glia diversity and CNS function

Gioele La Manno, Zahra Moslehi

The myelinated white matter tracts of the central nervous system (CNS) are essential for fast transmission of electrical impulses and are often differentially affected in human neurodegenerative diseases across CNS region, age and sex. We hypothesize that ...

Sensor-based control strategies for integration of epidural electrical stimulation in rehabilitation after spinal cord injury

Miroslav Caban

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) results in damage to neural circuitry connecting the brain to the periphery. Consequently, sensory and motor function is lost, to varying degree, depending on the site and severity of the lesion. More than half of spinal cord injur ...

Natural and targeted circuit reorganization after spinal cord injury

Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Quentin Barraud, Jordan Squair, Claudia Kathe, Matthieu Pierre Gautier, Mark Andrew Anderson, Thomas Haynes Hutson

The authors summarize changes in circuits after spinal cord injury and current strategies to target these circuits in order to improve recovery, but also advocate for new concepts of reorganizing circuits informed by multi-omic single-cell atlases. ...

Longitudinal interrogation of sympathetic neural circuits and hemodynamics in preclinical models

Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Jordan Squair, Matthieu Pierre Gautier, Loïs Thomas Romain Mahe, Rémi Bernard René Hudelle, Suje Amir, Victor Perez Puchalt, Jan Elaine Cuevas Soriano

Neurological disorders, including spinal cord injury, result in hemodynamic instability due to the disruption of supraspinal projections to the sympathetic circuits located in the spinal cord. We recently developed a preclinical model that allows the ident ...

NATURE PORTFOLIO2022

Single cell atlas of spinal cord injury in mice reveals a pro-regenerative signature in spinocerebellar neurons

Grégoire Courtine, Jordan Squair, Claudia Kathe

After spinal cord injury, tissue distal to the lesion contains undamaged cells that could support or augment recovery. Targeting these cells requires a clearer understanding of their injury responses and capacity for repair. Here, we use single nucleus RNA ...

Targeted dorsal root entry zone stimulation alleviates pain due to meralgia paresthetica

Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Léonie Asboth, Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker, Jimmy James Ravier, Nicolas Hankov, Viviana Aureli

Objective. Meralgia paresthetica (MP) is a mononeuropathy of the exclusively sensory lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) that is difficult to treat with conservative treatments. Afferents from the LFCN enter the spinal cord through the dorsal root entry ...

Molecular profiling of stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelial cell differentiation established for clinical translation

Gioele La Manno, Irina Khven, Alex Russell Lederer

Human embryonic stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelial cells (hESC-RPE) are a promising cell source to treat age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Despite several ongoing clinical studies, a detailed mapping of transient cellular states during in v ...

Astrocyte-targeting RNA interference against mutated superoxide dismutase 1 induces motoneuron plasticity and protects fast-fatigable motor units in a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Cylia Cloé Rochat, Nathalie Marie Géraldine Bernard

In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) caused by SOD1 gene mutations, both cell-autonomous and noncell-autonomous mechanisms lead to the selective degeneration of motoneurons (MN). Here, we evaluate the therapeutic potential of gene therapy targeting mutat ...

3-Dimensional Fluid and White Matter Suppression Magnetic Resonance Imaging Sequence Accelerated With Compressed Sensing Improves Multiple Sclerosis Cervical Spinal Cord Lesion Detection Compared With Standard 2-Dimensional Imaging

Tobias Kober

Objectives Fluid and white matter suppression (FLAWS) is a recently proposed magnetic resonance sequence derived from magnetization-prepared 2 rapid acquisition gradient-echo providing 2 coregistered datasets with white matter- and cerebrospinal fluid-supp ...

Unbiased interrogation of whole brain circuits in spinal cord injury leading to the design of a clinically relevant therapy to improve locomotion

Newton Cho

Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains a global problem, and despite decades of research there currently is no cure for this disease. Recently, significant advances in the use of neuroprosthetic rehabilitation to improve locomotor outcomes after SCI have been ma ...
