The assembly of functional neural circuits requires the combined action of progressive and
regressive events. Regressive events encompass a variety of inhibitory developmental …

Chemotherapeutic agents cause many short and long term toxic side effects to peripheral
nervous system (PNS) that drastically alter quality of life. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral …

A fundamental breakthrough in neurobiology has been the formulation of the neuron
doctrine by Santiago Ramón y Cajal, which stated that the nervous system is composed of …

How to make a neuron, a synapse, and a neural circuit? Is there only one 'design'for a
neural architecture with a universally shared genomic blueprint across species? The brief …

The precise wiring of the nervous system is a combined outcome of progressive and
regressive events during development. Axon guidance and synapse formation intertwined …

An important question in neuroscience is how stem cells generate neuronal diversity. During
Drosophila embryonic development, neural stem cells (neuroblasts) sequentially express …

Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) are specialized sensory cells in the intestinal epithelium that
sense and transduce nutrient information. Consumption of dietary fat contributes to …

Gene editing by CRISPR/Cas9 is commonly used to generate germline mutations or perform
in vitro screens, but applicability for in vivo screening has so far been limited. Recently, it …

During postembryonic life, hormones, including ecdysteroids, juvenile hormones, insulin-like
peptides, and activin/TGFβ ligands act to transform the larval nervous system into an adult …

Anastasis is a natural cell recovery phenomenon that rescues cells from the brink of death.
Programmed cell death such as apoptosis has been traditionally assumed to be an …
