Interested in how expression patterns of extracellular matrix related genes evolve across early human cortical development! This recent preprint @biorxiv-neursci.bsky.social from our lab shows ECM signatures of diverse cell types of developing cortex and their link to neurodevelopmental disorders.
🧠 New preprint! Our meta-analysis of scRNA-seq data (37 donors, GWs 8–26) maps ECM dynamics in human cortical development, linking many genes to NDDs.
