Mohan lab receives cover of Journal of Neuroscience Research
The Mohan lab has recently identified the genetic signatures of corneal nonmyelinating Schwann cells, and illuminated novel biomarkers of this cell type. This paper has received the cover of the Journal of Neuroscience Research http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/jnr.24757 On the cover: Nonmyelinating corneal Schwann cells ensheathing axons in the corneal stroma were visualized by the expression of green […]
Mohan Lab celebrates Match Day with Gwendolyn Schultz
