Show abstract
The progressive degeneration of dopaminergic projections to the striatum is a key disease mechanism in Parkinsons disease (PD). To define the cellular landscape in the parkinsonian striatum, we mapped the cell-type specific transcriptional landscape in early and progressive PD mouse models and in human PD stages. Our analyses revealed substantial transcriptomic changes across both neuronal and glial populations, with astrocytes and oligodendrocytes exhibiting distinct disease-associated gene expression profiles. Notably, progressive dopamine depletion uncovered differential neuronal vulnerability, identifying eccentric striatal projection neurons (SPNs) and Chst9-expressing direct-pathway SPNs as among the most resilient subtypes in both species. This cross-species resource establishes a comprehensive framework for investigating cell-state dynamics in the parkinsonian striatum and uncovers selectively vulnerable and resistant cell types that can inspire new therapeutic strategies.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
