Jul 12, 2024 - Research Highlight publication in eNeuro
Chandni's "Research Highlight", Pan-inhibitory hippocampal neuron ablation reveals insights into the role of interneurons in epileptogeness, was published in eNeuro! Chandni's paper highlights a recent publication from the Danzer laboratory (PMID: 38575351), in which widespread bilateral hippocampal interneuron ablation was found to cause transient seizure clusters and epileptiform activity.
Jul 03, 2024 - Publication in Neurobiology of Disease
We are excited to see our first collaboration with Miriam Meisler's lab come to fruition with a publication in Neurobi0logy of Disease: Dentate gyrus granule cells are a locus of pathology in Scn8a developmental encephalopathy. Congratulations to all the authors, including the first author, Wenxi Yu (Research Investigator in the Meisler lab), and Limei and Yiannos (Mattis lab members who contributed to this publication). Stay tuned to see what else our labs have been collaborating on!
Jun 26, 2024 - Joanna presents at a Bold Science Luncheon
Joanna gave a "lightning talk" at a Bold Science Luncheon featuring awardees of the Scouts program. Thank you to the University of Michigan Medical School's Office of Research for investing in high risk / high reward science! And thank you also to Dr. Bing Ye, Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology, for "scouting" the Mattis lab to receive this award.
