Delighted to share our new Nature paper: https://t.co/8hS89YrYg5 This works shows a surprising off-target effect of glutamate on another cell death channel, acid sensing ion channels (ASICs). It turns out that glutamate directly binds to ASICs as a positive allosteric modulator

Was a pleasure to co-supervise Ke Lai (future post-doc of the Wang Lab) on this project. In our collaboration with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, we have uncovered ASIC channels as a target in treating Neonatal Jaundice. Check out our paper in @ScienceTM

#ThrowbackThursday to 4 yrs ago, when I first began the important mandate I received from our PM @JustinTrudeau: to return science & research to their rightful place, after a decade of cuts & muzzling of scientists by the previous govt. Today, our decisions are based on evidence.

RIP to my friend, mentor, and collaborator Professor Jim Howe of @YaleMed Pharmacology. Here we are sharing a laugh with Jim’s former student Stacy Irizarry. Neuroscience has just lost one of the great electrophysiologists of our generation but we will never forget Jim’s laugh!

Another successful collaboration with our colleague Dr. Julie Forman-Kay moves us closer to understanding activity-dep translation of silenced mRNA. Check out our new paper in @PNASNews on reversible mRNA granule formation by FMRP https://t.co/YBNgItfAWU 🔬🧠 #SickKidsVsFragileX

Talk about a tour de force, Sam Young Jr.'s lab @SamYoungLab has combined virology and neuroscience to challenge conventional wisdom on presynaptic Ca2+ channel regulation in this must-read paper. Congrats Sam! 🍾 Keep listening to the calyx of Held! 👂🧠
Latest research from our lab. We are fired up about the findings and their implications on presynaptic regulation of neuronal circuits.
