Description of Research Expertise

24 RESEARCH INTERESTS
8
65 oligodendroglial development, oligodendroglial excitotoxicity, peripheral nerve regeneration
8
80 Key words: oligodendroglia, Schwann cells, excitotoxicity, multiple sclerosis, periventricular leukomalacia, neuropilin.
8
1f DESCRIPTION OF RESEARCH
8
29 We are addressing two questions:
8
a5 1. what mechanisms are responsible for the death of oligodendroglia in infants with periventricular leukomalacia, and in adults with multiple sclerosis; and
8
c1 2. what factors control the success of peripheral nerve regeneration. Methods include cell culture, genetically modified mice, and molecular/ immunochemical/ immunohistological analyses.
