MicroRNA miR‐137 Regulates Neuronal Maturation by Targeting Ubiquitin Ligase Mind Bomb‐1
- Richard D. Smrt, K. Szulwach, +9 authors X. Zhao
- Biology, Medicine
- Stem cells
- 1 June 2010
The maturation of young neurons is regulated by complex mechanisms and dysregulation of this process is frequently found in neurodevepmental disorders. MicroRNAs have been implicated in several steps… Expand
Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein Regulates Proliferation and Differentiation of Adult Neural Stem/Progenitor Cells
- Yuping Luo, Ge Shan, +11 authors X. Zhao
- Biology, Medicine
- PLoS genetics
- 1 April 2010
Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common form of inherited mental retardation, is caused by the loss of functional fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). FMRP is an RNA–binding protein that… Expand
Ablation of Fmrp in adult neural stem cells disrupts hippocampus-dependent learning
Deficiency in fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) results in fragile X syndrome (FXS), an inherited form of intellectual disability. Despite extensive research, it is unclear how FMRP… Expand
Defining a Molecular Atlas of the Hippocampus Using DNA Microarrays and High-Throughput In Situ Hybridization
- Ed S. Lein, X. Zhao, F. Gage
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Neuroscience
- 14 April 2004
The hippocampus consists of a series of cytoarchitecturally discrete subregions that can be distinguished from one another on the basis of morphology, connectivity, and electrophysiological… Expand
Human Adult Neurogenesis: Evidence and Remaining Questions.
- G. Kempermann, F. Gage, +15 authors J. Frisén

- Cell stem cell
- 5 July 2018
Renewed discussion about whether or not adult neurogenesis exists in the human hippocampus, and the nature and strength of the supporting evidence, has been reignited by two prominently published… Expand
Inhibition of GSK3β improves hippocampus-dependent learning and rescues neurogenesis in a mouse model of fragile X syndrome.
Fragile X syndrome (FXS), a common inherited form of intellectual disability with learning deficits, results from a loss of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). Despite extensive research,… Expand
Alcohol Exposure Decreases CREB Binding Protein Expression and Histone Acetylation in the Developing Cerebellum
- W. Guo, E. Crossey, +4 authors X. Zhao
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 31 May 2011
Background Fetal alcohol exposure affects 1 in 100 children making it the leading cause of mental retardation in the US. It has long been known that alcohol affects cerebellum development and… Expand
Adult neural stem cells: response to stroke injury and potential for therapeutic applications.
- Basam Z. Barkho, X. Zhao

- 1 December 2011
The plasticity of neural stem/progenitor cells allows a variety of different responses to many environmental cues. In the past decade, significant research has gone into understanding the regulation… Expand
Imatinib attenuates skeletal muscle dystrophy in mdx mice
- P. Huang, X. Zhao, Matthew M Fields, R. Ransohoff, Lan Zhou
- Biology, Medicine

- 1 August 2009
Duchenne‐Meryon muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common and lethal genetic muscle disease. Ameliorating muscle necrosis, inflammation, and fibrosis represents an important therapeutic approach… Expand
A simple method of DNA extraction for Eimeria species.
- X. Zhao, D. Duszynski, E. Loker
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of microbiological methods
- 1 March 2001
A new, simple method is described for extracting DNA from coccidia (Eimeriidae) oocysts. In our hands this method works well for all Eimeria oocysts and, presumably, will work equally well for… Expand
