Cell imaging: encloses the techniques that allow the detection and analysis of cellular organelles and macromolecules. Live cell imaging was pioneered in the first decade of the 20th century, and is used by scientists to obtain a better understanding of biological function through the study of cellular dynamics.
Over the last 15 years, human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) technologies have progressed from academic curiosities into tools with the promise to underpin commerce, leading to real progress in...
Neurons derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), including embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), are excellent resources for disease modeling and d...

We have been developing methods to target drugs specifically to pathologic cells, thereby avoiding collateral toxicity to healthy cells. In the case of cancer, we have exploited up-regulation...
Maturing neural circuits are dramatically shaped by the environment, but this timing varies across brain regions and plasticity declines with age. Focusing on cellular/molecular mechanisms un...
