Influenza viruses represent a significant burden to human health. In order to limit respiratory viral disease, new approaches that can prevent viral infection and spread are needed. We have...
Self-amplifying RNA replicons are promising candidates for next generation vaccines against human coronaviruses with pandemic potential. Self-amplification of RNAs in host cells generates mo...
For centuries, humans have become infected with endemic circulating Coronaviruses (hCoV), typically repeatedly throughout life. To understand how these respiratory infections establish CD4 T...

In this preliminary experiment, we used spatial transcriptomics to assess the gene expression profiles of microglia or astrocytes in relation to their distance from plaques. We compared 18-m...
Technological advances such as single-cell RNA sequencing accelerated our understanding of cellular diversity in tissues. However, the ability to elucidate this cellular heterogeneity while...
In 1910, Harrison published the first report of frog embryonic sympathetic ganglia grown in hanging drops of lymph for a few days, where single neurons extended nerve fibers with complex gro...
Emerging data from several expansive clinical trials indicates that common chronic vascular risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and age increase the risk of stroke and deme...

The misfolding of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) such as tau and α-synuclein (αSyn) has been associated with the on-set and progression of Alzheimer’s (AD) and Pa...
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder with multiple motor and non-motor symptoms. PD is characterized by the presence on proteinaceous neuronal...
Adolescence is a critical period for the developing brain, and binge drinking during this neuromaturation can result in enduring abnormal brain function and behavior. Repeated adolescent bin...
We will show how to combine large scale neural recordings and mechanistic neural network models to advance our conceptual understanding of how neural circuits mediate cognitive functions lik...
Over 40 tandem repeats undergo expansion events that lead to neurological disease. This number is likely an underestimate as many repeats are difficult to amplify using existing short read s...
Multiscale modeling has arisen as a focus of computational systems biology, with the realization that genome, proteome, connectome, etceteromes, will only become comprehensible once placed i...
