Sincere team-work efforts led by Robert P Krattli Jr and An Do in AcharyaLab CWRU: Neuroprotective impact of inhibiting C5aR1 complement singling against brain cancer radiation therapy (RT)-induced cognitive decline without affecting therapeutic efficacy of RT biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Stay tuned for one more fine piece of work led by SanadKhatib + our lab team in collab with Alex Chan, PharmD, MPH & CNCM colleagues. In vivo enhancement in brain BDNF (using Riluzole) reversed cranial radiotherapy-induced cognitive decline & synaptic loss. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Our new publication: Patient specimen and breast cancer chemobrain mouse model show a decline in Dynamin-1, a synaptic plasticity and neurotransmission-related marker, and its link with cognitive impairments. In partnership with Alex Chan, PharmD, MPH Ding Quan (Quinton) Ng, BSPharm
Proud moments for the Acharya Lab: 🙌🏼 8 research poster presentations by our talented teams. TWO Wins: 🏆FIRST prize (Casey Hudson) and 🏆SECOND prize (Shreya Madan) UCI Health Cancer Center Research Retreat. Collaborative presence and synergy with Alex Chan, PharmD, MPH
Just published: we show the reversal of cranial radiation-induced cognitive decline and elevation of neuroprotective gene expression in the excitatory neurons (spatial transcriptomics) following riluzole treatment. Proud of our team, led by SanadKhatib, in collab Alex Chan, PharmD, MPH
