In utero exposure to glucocorticoids in humans and an animal model: Epigenetic and transcriptional signatures
https://braincanada.ca/fr/subventions-financées/in-utero-exposure-to-glucocorticoids-in-humans-and-an-animal-model-epigenetic-and-transcriptional-signaturesDr. Sasaki research aims to (1) determine the mechanisms by which maternal synthetic glucocorticoids (sGC) modifies gene networks in a preclinical guinea pig model and (2) determine the mechanism by which a single maternal treatment of sGC modifies gene networks in human cord blood at term...

In vitro and in vivo functional assessment of neuropsychiatric disease-related synaptic gene mutations
https://braincanada.ca/fr/subventions-financées/in-vitro-and-in-vivo-functional-assessment-of-neuropsychiatric-disease-related-synaptic-gene-mutationsDr. Xie’s research focuses on the functional assessment of neuropsychiatric disease related synaptic genes – MDGA1 and 2. MDGAs bind to critical neuron synaptic proteins – Neuroglin (NLGN), disrupting the binding between NLGN and Neurexin (NRXN), so suppressing synaptogenesis. Project Overview Dr....

Indices de résilience au stress découverts à la barrière hémato-encéphalique
https://braincanada.ca/fr/à-propos-de/nouvelles-mises-à-jour/la-résistance-au-stress-et-la-barrière-hémato-encéphaliqueQuels sont les facteurs qui favorisent la résilience au stress? Les chercheurs se sont penchés sur cette question au niveau des neurones pendant des décennies, mais Caroline Ménard a trouvé une réponse là où le système sanguin et le système nerveux interagissent : la barrière hémato-encéphalique...
