Neurodevelopment - Cell Lineage, Neuronal Migration, Axonal Targeting and Craniofacial Development

Posted by: National Institutes of Health (NIH)

Posted date: 2019-Jul-23

Location: USA

Position Description:

Projects focus on differentiation and migration of GnRH cells, olfactory ensheathing cells and olfactory axon outgrowth during development of the craniofacial region. Prenatally, GnRH neurons originate in the nasal region and migrate on olfactory axons into the brain. Current projects examine:

  • Lineage of the GnRH cells;
  • Intracellular signaling that controls cell movement and corresponding changes in cytoskeletal elements;
  • Combinatorial influence of guidance factors involved in migration of these cells into the forebrain;
  • Mechanisms common to neuronal migration as well as mechanisms specific to the GnRH system;
  • Development of the craniofacial region.
  • Laboratory uses multidisciplinary approaches: cre/lox mice, transgenic lines, imaging, nasal explants, acute slices, videomicroscopy, calcium imaging, electrophysiology, immunocytochemistry, single-cell PCR, CRISPR and subtractive cDNA screening.

    Selected Recent Publications:

    • Dairaghi L, Flannery E, Giacobini P, Saglam A, Saadi H, Constantin S, Casoni F, Howell BW, Wray S. Reelin can modulate migration of olfactory ensheathing cells and gonadotropin releasing hormone neurons via the canonical pathway. Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018;
