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 […]

Schwann cells ensheath the stromal axons of the cornea. But how these specialized glial cells are adapted to maintain corneal transparency is an important question because corneal refraction is an important aspect of vision. The research groups led by Drs. Paola Bargagna-Mohan and Royce Mohan have used a powerful approach to illuminate the genes expressed […]

As posted in UConn Today  – September 25, 2020 UConn Health neuroscientists Duck O. Kim and Shigeyuki Kuwada passionately wanted to figure out the real story. Kuwada had made many contributions to science’s understanding of binaural (two-eared) hearing, beginning in the 1970s. Binaural hearing is essential to how we localize where a sound is coming […]
