Min Zhou, MD, PhD presents how astrocytes establish the largest syncytial networks in the brain through conduit proteins, termed gap junctions. The lab's recent discovery shows that an extensive cell-to-cell gap junction coupling enables astrocytes to truly function as a team, therefore, more effectively than previously thought in critical brain homeostasis. A new research direction emerging from this discovery aims at the novel functions that are achieved at astrocyte syncytial system levels.
This presentation will be offered in-person for up to 40 registrants in Biomedical Research Tower, Rm 105, with optional viewing via Zoom. Please indicate your preference for attendance when registering. Coffee and bagels will be available for in-person viewers.
