In the developing nervous system, an enormous number and diversity of neurons are precisely organized into neural circuits. How can such a vast set of neural connections be wired using limited cues...
Mutation or disruption of the SHANK3 (SH3 domain and ankyrin repeat) gene at the 22q13.3 locus represents a highly penetrant, monogenic risk-factor for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and is a...
Fructose is a simple sugar found in fruit and honey, but it is also used as sweeteners via added sugars, syrups, or high fructose corn syrup in processed foods or beverages.3655 promenade Sir...
There has been significant progress over the last decade in understanding the molecular basis by which sensory neurons transduce and subsequently transmit noxious (ie. tissue damaging) stimuli...
Several functions, motor or sensory, rely on the ability of neurons to modify their discharge pattern to faithfully encode the characteristics of a sensory stimulus or to reflect a rhythmic motor...

Despite that NO is a small, diatomic gas, believed to be freely-diffusible in cells, its contrasting anti- and pro-tumour effects in macrophages may be explained by our concept that it is not...
My research focus is on applying patient-derived stem cells towards the development of phenotypic discovery assays and 3D mini-brain models for both neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental...
