Brain-derived neurotrophic factor and neurotrophin receptors modulate glutamate-induced phase shifts of the suprachiasmatic nucleus
Michel, S.; Clark, J. P.; Ding, Jian; Colwell, C. S. (East Carolina University, 2006-08)Light information reaches the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) through a subpopulation of retinal ganglion cells. Previous work raised the possibility that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its high-affinity ... -
Changes in the Circadian Rhythm in Patients with Primary Glaucoma
Wang, Huaizhou; Zhang, Ye; Ding, Jian; Wang, Ningli (2013)Purpose The current study was undertaken to investigate whether glaucoma affects the sleep quality and whether there is any difference between patients with primary glaucoma (primary open angle glaucoma, POAG and primary ... -
Essential role of proteasomes in maintaining self-renewal in neural progenitor cells
Zhao, Yunhe; Liu, Xueqin; He, Zebin; Niu, Xiaojie; Shi, Weijun; Ding, Jian; Zhang, Li; Yuan, Tifei; Li, Ang; Yang, Wulin; Lu, Li (2016-01)Protein turnover and homeostasis are regulated by the proteasomal system, which is critical for cell function and viability. Pluripotency of stem cells also relies on normal proteasomal activity that mitigates senescent ... -
The role of mediators of neuronal plasticity in the circadian regulation of suprachiasmatic nucleus by light
Vijayakumar, Sarath (East Carolina University, 2009)Circadian rhythms are highly conserved physiological functions that are present in almost all living organisms. In mammals, circadian rhythms are synchronized to the environmental light:dark cycle by daily adjustments in ...
