Overview

• The Atlas’s cell-type database has grown by nearly 50%, now encompassing data from nine brain regions of individuals with Parkinson’s disease.
• This marks the first inclusion of patient-derived Parkinson’s datasets in the Allen Brain Cell Atlas, which launched in 2023.
• Scientists can access the expanded resource through the ASAP CRN Cloud platform managed by The Michael J. Fox Foundation.
• A shared cell-type vocabulary allows direct comparison of cellular changes in Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and related disorders.
• High-resolution single-cell genomics in the Atlas aims to accelerate identification of vulnerable brain cell types and therapeutic targets.
