Control axon connectivity during central nervous system regeneration

Objectifs

The aim of this project is to understand mechanisms of central nervous system regeneration and circuit connectivity to ensure functional recovery.

Résumé

Over the past few years, researchers have started to unfold the molecular mechanisms underlying central nervous system regeneration. Using modulation of pro-growth pathways, lesioned axons can regenerative past the injury site and grow over few millimeters. However, one major roadblock remains: how to form functional circuit? To answer this question, we will a combination of molecular and cellular approaches to find new mechanism to ensure axon growth and axon guidance in mature central nervous system.
This project will use state of the art molecular biology, cellular biology, in vivo models of central nervous system regeneration (in mice) and imaging.

Méthodes

Molecular biology (cloning, PCR); cell culture (cell lines, primary neuron culture, explant culture), microscopy (confocal, spinning disk, light sheet, epifluorescence), histology (cryosection, immunostaining, in situ hybridization), optic nerve surgeries.
