Zinc is both an essential and potentially toxic metal. It is widely believed that oral zinc supplementation can reduce the effects of the common cold; however, there is strong clinical evidence that i
How functional cellular heterogeneities are regulated is fundamental for understanding the molecular basis of complex organs. Olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) are an ideal model to investigate the reg
The polycomb group protein, CBX8, is a neuron-specific component of Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) in the adult olfactory epithelium. We performed ChIP-seq to identify genes occupied by CBX8-PRC
Dr. Schwarting's research is focused on the analysis of developmentally regulated cell surface molecules and their role in axon guidance and neuronal migration, using the olfactory system as a model.
