Latest work on controling synaptic connectivity via immunoglobulin superfamily proteins is out in Cell.
The latest issue of Cell (Dec 17th, 2015) has our paper (Carrillo et al. ⇒ Pubmed link) published back to back with Tan et al. (Pubmed link). Together, we show that two protein families belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily control synapse specificity in the...
Jing Wang, post-doctoral scholar, joins the lab.
Jing Wang, a recent graduate of Tsinghua University, has joined our laboratory. Her efforts will focus on the structural biology of protein complexes that mediate glial regulation of synaptic function. Welcome to Chicago, Jing!
