Parkinson’s disease modeling in regenerative spiny mice (Acomys dimidiatus) captures key disease-relevant behavioral, histological, and molecular signatures
This paper models PD for the first time in a unique regenerative mammalian model, spiny mice, finding that 6-OHDA and αSyn PFFs induce robust pathology.
A molecular atlas of cell-type specific signatures in the parkinsonian striatum
Progressive dopamine loss in PD affects striatum cells differently. Transcriptomic analysis in mouse and human models reveals changes in neuronal and glial populations, highlighting resilient and vulnerable cell types for potential new treatments.
