Transplanting Immortal Orexin Cells in Narcoleptic Mice Rescues Cataplexy
, 2022 The sleep disorder narcolepsy is characterized by highly diminished or entirely absent levels of the neuropeptide orexin in the central nervous system. This loss manifests in symptoms such as cataplexy, a sudden and involuntary loss of muscle tone during
