Human diseases, particularly infectious diseases and cancers, pose unprecedented
challenges to public health security and the global economy. The development and …

The mammalian nervous system is comprised of a seemingly infinitely complex network of
specialized synaptic connections that coordinate the flow of information through it. The field …

The mammalian retina displays no intrinsic regenerative capacities, therefore retinal
degenerative diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or retinitis …

The cultural impact of rabies, the fatal neurological disease caused by infection with rabies
virus, registers throughout recorded history. Although rabies has been the subject of large …

The nervous system is complex not simply because of the enormous number of neurons it
contains but by virtue of the specificity with which they are connected. Unraveling this …

Neurogenesis and differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) are controlled by cell-intrinsic
molecular pathways that interact with extrinsic signaling cues. In this study, we identify a …

A central objective in deciphering the nervous system in health and disease is to define the
connections of neurons. The propensity of neurotropic viruses to spread among synaptically …

Plant molecular pharming has emerged as a reliable platform for recombinant protein
expression providing a safe and low-cost alternative to bacterial and mammalian cells …

Feedback and closed-loop circuits exist in just about every part of the nervous system. It is
curious, therefore, that for decades neuroscientists have been probing the nervous system in …

The claustrum is an intriguing brain structure, featuring the highest connectivity per regional
volume in the brain. It is a thin and elongated structure enclosed between the striatum and …
