Deborah Lang, PhD, Receives Grant To Examine How Some Genes Are Disrupted at the DNA, RNA Level, Cause Melanoma
Dr. Deborah Lang has been awarded a two-year, $300,000 Discovery Boost Grant from the American Cancer Society for her research project “Exploring roles for PAX3 in regulating gene expression on a post transcriptional level.”
[Biogerontology] Investigators explored the possibility of inducing aging-associated features in cell types of the central nervous system using hiPSC technology.
[Journal Of Neuroscience] The authors reported using human tumor specimens and primary spheroids from male and female patients that GlialCAM, was differentially expressed in subpopulations of glioblastoma cells.
[Molecular Psychiatry] Investigators showed that the PTENG132D allele disrupted early neuroectoderm formation during the first several days of organoid generation, and results in deficient electrophysiology.
