Journal Article
Dimmock, R., Zhang, Y., Butt, G., Rauz, S., Huang, Z., & Yang, Y. (in press). Characterizing Biomechanics of Limbal Niche Using Vibrational Optical Coherence Elastography. Journal of Biophotonics, Article e202400172. https://doi.org/10.1002/jbio.202400172

The limbal niche is an adult source of epithelial stem cells which regenerate the cornea epithelium. The architecture and biomechanical properties of the limbus have previously been demonstrated to change due to aging and disease. This study aims to...

Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) isabundant in the human brain and has an important role in brain homeostatsis and diseases. AQP4 expression has been found to be associated with glioma malignancies. However, the complete understanding of the biological processes... Read More about Update on the intriguing roles of AQP4 expression and redistribution in the progression and treatment of glioma.

State of the Art in Sub-Phenotyping Midbrain Dopamine Neurons (2024)
Journal Article
Basso, V., Döbrössy, M. D., Thompson, L. H., Kirik, D., Fuller, H. R., & Gates, M. A. (2024). State of the Art in Sub-Phenotyping Midbrain Dopamine Neurons. Biology, 13(9), 690. https://doi.org/10.3390/biology13090690

Dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) comprise around 75% of all dopaminergic neurons in the human brain. While both groups of dopaminergic neurons are in close proximity in the midbrai... Read More about State of the Art in Sub-Phenotyping Midbrain Dopamine Neurons.
