The spinal cord is the major link between the brain and the body. It receives cues from the cortex, the brainstem, and other sources, and transforms these diverse inputs into behavior....
Cells are truly the ultimate “smart-material” fine-tuning their mechanical properties to match the mechanical demands of their environments./physiologyCategory: Dept. of Physiology
Immune cells and their derived molecules have major impact on brain function. Mice deficient in adaptive immunity have impaired cognitive and social function compared to that of wild-type mice....
My research interests are in the biology of hematopoietic stem cells and the regulation of blood and immune cell production in health and disease, with a focus on transcriptional and epigenetic...
There is a need for developing treatments to stimulate bone formation in regenerative medicine since the approved drugs can only be used for a maximum of two years and have potential high risk side...
Recent studies suggest that patients with frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are at a higher risk for cardiac myopathy and sudden cardiac death./physiologyCategory: Dept. of Physiology...
This presentation will review the role of the fungal exopolysaccharide galactosaminogalactan in the pathogenesis of invasive aspergillosis, the elucidation of the biosynthetic pathways governing...
Genetic changes are a hallmark of cancer but are particularly prominent in solid tumors compared to liquid tumors. Moreover, tumors that arise in stiffer tissues show more genetic changes than...
Over the last 2 decades, the nematode C. elegans has become an important model for the study of host-pathogen interactions. It deploys a wide range of strategies to defend itself against infection....
