Activity-dependent regulation of dendritic growth and patterning

ROL Wong, A Ghosh - Nature reviews neuroscience, 2002 - nature.com
One of the most remarkable features of the developing brain is its ability to undergo
structural change in response to experience. Among the cellular elements that show this …

Retinal waves and visual system development

ROL Wong - Annual review of neuroscience, 1999 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Many pathways in the developing visual system are restructured and become
highly organized even before vision occurs. Yet the developmental processes underlying …

Functional architecture of the retina: development and disease

M Hoon, H Okawa, L Della Santina… - Progress in retinal and eye …, 2014 - Elsevier
Abstract Structure and function are highly correlated in the vertebrate retina, a sensory tissue
that is organized into cell layers with microcircuits working in parallel and together to encode …

[HTML][HTML] Circulating tumor DNA analysis guiding adjuvant therapy in stage II colon cancer

J Tie, JD Cohen, K Lahouel, SN Lo… - … England Journal of …, 2022 - Mass Medical Soc
Background The role of adjuvant chemotherapy in stage II colon cancer continues to be
debated. The presence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) after surgery predicts very poor …

Synchronous bursts of action potentials in ganglion cells of the developing mammalian retina

M Meister, ROL Wong, DA Baylor, CJ Shatz - Science, 1991 - science.org
The development of orderly connections in the mammalian visual system depends on action
potentials in the optic nerve fibers, even before the retina receives visual input. In particular …

Circulating tumor DNA analysis detects minimal residual disease and predicts recurrence in patients with stage II colon cancer

J Tie, Y Wang, C Tomasetti, L Li, S Springer… - Science translational …, 2016 - science.org
Detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) after resection of stage II colon cancer may
identify patients at the highest risk of recurrence and help inform adjuvant treatment …

Serum FGF21 levels are increased in obesity and are independently associated with the metabolic syndrome in humans

X Zhang, DCY Yeung, M Karpisek, D Stejskal… - Diabetes, 2008 - Am Diabetes Assoc
OBJECTIVE—Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a metabolic regulator with multiple
beneficial effects on glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity in animal models. This …

Two modes of radial migration in early development of the cerebral cortex

B Nadarajah, JE Brunstrom, J Grutzendler… - Nature …, 2001 - nature.com
Layer formation in the developing cerebral cortex requires the movement of neurons from
their site of origin to their final laminar position. We demonstrate, using time-lapse imaging of …

Transient period of correlated bursting activity during development of the mammalian retina

ROL Wong, M Meister, CJ Shatz - Neuron, 1993 - cell.com
The refinement of early connections in the visual pathway requires electrical activity in the
retina before the onset of vision. Using a multielectrode array, we have shown that the …
