Overview

Sebastian Jessberger is a researcher affiliated with the University of Zurich in Switzerland. Their research primarily spans the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, with a strong focus on Neuroscience. Within these fields, their work contributes to several subfields including Molecular Biology, Developmental Neuroscience, Neurology, Cell Biology, and Cancer Research.

The main topics covered by their research involve mechanisms of neurogenesis and neuroplasticity, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration mechanisms, pluripotent stem cells research, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, RNA research and splicing, epigenetics and DNA methylation, as well as microtubule and mitosis dynamics.

Jessberger has published research extensively in multiple scientific venues. Frequent publication sites include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Nature Neuroscience, Cell Stem Cell, STAR Protocols, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Among recent papers coauthored by Jessberger are:

  • Formation and integration of new neurons in the adult hippocampus, 2021, Nature Reviews Neuroscience
  • Long-term self-renewing stem cells in the adult mouse hippocampus identified by intravital imaging, 2020, Nature Neuroscience
  • FASN-Dependent Lipid Metabolism Links Neurogenic Stem/Progenitor Cell Activity to Learning and Memory Deficits, 2020, Cell Stem Cell
  • Declining lamin B1 expression mediates age-dependent decreases of hippocampal stem cell activity, 2021, Cell Stem Cell
  • Chronic in vivo imaging defines age-dependent alterations of neurogenesis in the mouse hippocampus, 2023, Nature Aging

Jessberger has collaborated repeatedly with several researchers, including Lars N. Royall, Annina Denoth-Lippuner, Baptiste N. Jaeger, Merit Kruse, and Benjamin D. Simons. This collaborative network reflects a focus on multidisciplinary approaches in neuroscience and molecular biology.
