[HTML][HTML] A single-cell atlas of the human substantia nigra reveals cell-specific pathways associated with neurological disorders

D Agarwal, C Sandor, V Volpato, TM Caffrey… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
We describe a human single-nuclei transcriptomic atlas for the substantia nigra (SN), generated
by sequencing approximately 17,000 nuclei from matched cortical and SN samples. We …

Addressing variability in iPSC-derived models of human disease: guidelines to promote reproducibility

V Volpato, C Webber - Disease models & mechanisms, 2020 - journals.biologists.com
Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technologies have provided in vitro models of
inaccessible human cell types, yielding new insights into disease mechanisms especially for …

[PDF][PDF] Reproducibility of molecular phenotypes after long-term differentiation to human iPSC-derived neurons: a multi-site omics study

V Volpato, J Smith, C Sandor, JS Ried, A Baud… - Stem cell reports, 2018 - cell.com
Reproducibility in molecular and cellular studies is fundamental to scientific discovery. To
establish the reproducibility of a well-defined long-term neuronal differentiation protocol, we …

Cellular α-synuclein pathology is associated with bioenergetic dysfunction in Parkinson's iPSC-derived dopamine neurons

…, C Lang, BJ Ryan, V Volpato… - Human Molecular …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder and a

contractions causing abnormal movements and postures, often occurring in absence of any …

Targeted single-cell RNA sequencing of transcription factors enhances the identification of cell types and trajectories

A Pokhilko, AE Handel, F Curion, V Volpato… - Genome …, 2021 - genome.cshlp.org
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a widely used method for identifying cell types
and trajectories in biologically heterogeneous samples, but it is limited in its detection and …

[HTML][HTML] Accurate prediction of protein enzymatic class by N-to-1 Neural Networks

V Volpato, A Adelfio, G Pollastri - BMC bioinformatics, 2013 - Springer
We present a novel ab initio predictor of protein enzymatic class. The predictor can classify
proteins, solely based on their sequences, into one of six classes extracted from the enzyme …
