A recent study published in Nature Neuroscience revealed the spatiotemporal gene expression pattern in mammalian circadian pacemaker, Suprachiasmatic Nucleus (SCN), at single-cell resolution. This work was performed by researchers in Dr. YAN Jun’s Lab. The understanding of neuronal mechanism of circadian rhythm in nervous system is important for the human health.
A recent study published on eLife, focusing on deep and bulk transcriptomic analysis of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in mouse inner ear, is performed by researchers in Dr. LIU Zhiyong’s Lab. Therefore, how to maintain functions of SGN and regenerate them after the damage is one important but tough question in the hearing field.
A recent study published in Journal of Neuroscience reveals a new pro- inflammatory factor pancreatitis-associated protein-I (PAP-I) in maintaining neuropathic pain. This work was performed by researchers in Dr. ZHANG Xu’s Lab and in Dr. BAO Lan’s Lab.
