Spinal cord injury leads to impaired motor and sensory functions. After spinal cord injury there is a an initial phase of hypo-reflexia followed by a developing hyper-reflexia, often termed spasticity. Previous studies have suggested a relationship between the reappearence of plateau potentials in motor neurons and the development of spasticity after spinalization. To understand the molecular mechanism behind this phenomenon we examined the transcriptional response of the motor neurons after spinal cord injury.

After spinal cord injury there is a an initial phase of hypo-reflexia followed by a developing hyper-reflexia, often termed spasticity. Previous studies have suggested a relationship between the reappearence of plateau potentials in motor neurons and the development of spasticity after spinalizaion. To understand the moleclar mechanism behind this pheneomona we examined the transcriptional response of the motor neurons after spinal cord injury as it progress over time.

View SamplesIn order to investigate how electrophysiological properties vary within the Pthlh population in the dorsolateral striatum we performed PatchSeq analysis of neurons labeled in 5HT3a(EGFP) and Pvalb(cre)::RCE/tdTomato mouse lines, which included Th, Npy/Mia, Cck, and Cck/Vip expressing cells. Overall design: 98 FACS-sorted single cells isolated from the dorso-lateral striatum from either a 5ht3a-EGFP mouse line or a Lhx6-cre mouse crossed onto a R26R-tdTomato reporter mouse line

View SamplesMetal oxide engineered nanoparticles, which are widely used in diverse applications, are known to impact terrestrial plants. These nanoparticles have a potential to induce changes in plant tissue transcriptomes, and thereby the productivity. Here we looked at how the two commonly used nanoparticles, nano-titania (TiO2) and nano-ceria (CeO2) can impact the underlying mechanisms associated plant growth at genome level.

View SamplesSeed germination of a terrestrial plant constitute dynamic changes in various physiological processes related to growth and development. These physiological processes can be affected by various abiotic and biotic stressors. Here we looked at how the two commonly used nanoparticles, nano-titania (TiO2) and nano-ceria (CeO2) can impact the underlying mechanisms associated with germination at genome level.
