Organoid Brain‐Machine‐Interface Devices for Central Nervous System Repair

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We envision organoid brain‐machine‐interface (Organoid‐BMI) devices as new biohybrid bidirectional communication pathways to connect the human CNS and the external world for personalized CNS repair and regeneration. ABSTRACT Central nervous system (CNS) repair and regeneration suffer from tremendous clinical challenges due to current limitations in ...

Overcoming the loss of blue sensitivity through opsin duplication in the largest animal group, beetles

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Opsin proteins are fundamental components of animal vision whose structure largely determines the sensitivity of visual pigments to different wavelengths of light.

Targeted Mechanogenetics to Modulate Specific Deep Neural Circuits

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces mechanogenetics, a nanobubble‐enhanced sonogenetic strategy for selective modulation of feeding‐related neural circuits in the mouse lateral hypothalamus. Mechanogenetic stimulation modulates feeding behavior through glutamatergic projections from the lateral hypothalamus to the ventral tegmental area, highlighting its potential ...

The cellular fate of mutant rhodopsin: quality control, degradation and aggresome formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Mutations in the photopigment rhodopsin are the major cause of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa. The majority of mutations in rhodopsin lead to misfolding of the protein.

Opsin expression varies across larval development and taxa in pteriomorphian bivalves

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience
IntroductionMany marine organisms have a biphasic life cycle that transitions between a swimming larva with a more sedentary adult form. At the end of the first phase, larvae must identify suitable sites to settle and undergo a dramatic morphological ...

The association between neural crest‐derived glia and melanocyte lineages throughout development and disease

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient cell population that emerges from the dorsal neural tube during neurulation and migrates extensively throughout the embryo. Among their diverse derivatives, glial cells (such as Schwann and satellite ganglionic cells) and melanocytes represent two major lineages. In vitro studies suggested they share a common

Wild-type opsin does not aggregate with a misfolded opsin mutant

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2016
Rhodopsin is the light receptor in photoreceptor cells that plays a central role in phototransduction and photoreceptor cell health. Mutations in rhodopsin are the leading cause of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP), a retinal degenerative disease. A majority of mutations in rhodopsin cause misfolding and aggregation of the apoprotein opsin.
