Largely via epigenomic mechanisms, environmental factors, social stress, and behavior changes are involved in neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative disease, depression, and autism...
Given that neurotransmitter-dependent neuronal communication provides a basis to realize the function of brain, this organ requires a unique, global and coordinated hydrodynamic system to maintain neurotransmitter homeostasis. In the present study, we characterized a novel aquaporin 4 (AQP4)-dependent fluid regulation system, and developed a set of noninvasive quantitative assessments by MRI...

Recent advances in sequencing technologies promise ultra-long but noisy reads, which requires huge computation resource to calculate pairwise alignment for ultra-long sequence and multiple sequence alignment for correcting the noisy reads...
Organoids are tiny, self-organized 3D tissue cultures that grown from stem cells. These ‘mini-organs’ in a dish can recapitulate key structural and functional properties of human organs. Thus, human organoids provide unique opportunities for the study of human biology...
Dr. Yu will give a talk on identifying associations between the human connectome (i.e., fMRI-based brain networks), AD biomarkers (amyloid-β and tau pathologies measured by PET imaging), transcriptome (measured by brain-wide gene expression data), as well as cognitive changes in AD.
