Paik, David Tohyun (2015-12-04)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyMyocardial infarction (MI) causes irreversible tissue damage, leading to heart failure. Our laboratory found canonical Wnt signaling and the Wnt10b ligand are strongly induced in mouse and human hearts after MI. Wnt10b ...

O'Brien, Barbara Maledy Jones (2017-11-16)Department: NeuroscienceNeurons are specialized cells that communicate through electrochemical signals: a neuron receives input through dendrites and sends information through a single axon. The receptive field for each neuron is defined by sister ...

Fox, Rebecca Marie (2006-12-01)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyAnimal movement is controlled by the motor circuit, which features an axial nerve cord where motor neurons transmit signals from the brain to specific muscles. The development of this circuit depends on differential gene ...

Von Stetina, Stephen Edward (2005-11-07)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyProper function of the brain requires that neurons adopt different morphologies and connections. In the nematode <i>C. elegans</i>, VA and VB motor neurons arise from a common precursor cell but adopt different morphologies ...

Alcazar-Roman, Abel Rodrigo (2008-04-15)Department: Cell and Development BiologyExport of mature, translationally competent messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs) from the nucleus to the cytoplasm is a highly orchestrated process that includes transcription, capping, splicing, and 3' end ...

Miller-Fleming, Tyne Whitney (2017-02-09)Department: NeuroscienceSynaptic circuits are dynamically refined during development as synapses are either stabilized or eliminated. This process requires both neuronal activity and genetic programming; however, the molecules that mediate this ...

Bermingham, Daniel Patrick (2016-06-09)Department: NeuroscienceDopamine is a critical neurotransmitter used across phylogeny to regulate many aspects of behavior. Synaptic control of dopamine signaling is vital for normal nervous system function in humans, and dysregulation of this ...

Howard, Gregory Caleb (2016-08-31)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyThe ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) influences gene transcription in multiple ways. One way in which the UPS impacts transcription centers on transcriptional activators, the function of which can be stimulated by components ...
