Swelling of the brain or spinal cord (CNS edema) affects millions of people every year. All
potential pharmacological interventions have failed in clinical trials, meaning that symptom …

Genes causing nonsyndromic autosomal recessive deafness (DFNB12) and deafness associated
with retinitis pigmentosa and vestibular dysfunction (USH1D) were previously mapped …

This review will describe the unique advantages that are offered by the visual system of
mammals and other vertebrates for studying the regenerative responses of the central nervous …

Drought stress restricts plant growth and development by altering metabolic activity and
biological functions. However, plants have evolved several cellular and molecular mechanisms …

The inner ear has fluid-filled compartments of different ionic compositions, including the
endolymphatic and perilymphatic spaces of the organ of Corti; the separation from one another …

Reduction of nitrite (NO 2 − ) provides a major source of nitric oxide (NO) in the circulation,
especially in hypoxemic conditions. Our previous studies suggest that xanthine …

Albinism is a rare genetic condition globally characterized by a number of specific deficits in
the visual system, resulting in poor vision, in association with a variable hypopigmentation …

In 2008, we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy.
Since then, this topic has received increasing attention, and many scientists have entered the …

Human chromosome 10q21-22 harbors USH1F in a region of conserved synteny to mouse
chromosome 10. This region of mouse chromosome 10 contains Pcdh15, encoding a …

Positional cloning of hereditary deafness genes is a direct approach to identify molecules
and mechanisms underlying auditory function. Here we report a locus for dominant deafness, …
