Thu23January 23, 2020, 10 a.m. - 10:50 a.m.ABSTRACT Following traumatic injury to the adult central nervous system (CNS), neural connectivity is lost and fails to spontaneously regrow. This regeneration failure may be due to an intrinsic inability for damaged neurons to regrow in the adult as well as the formati...

Tue4February 4, 2020, 11 a.m.ABSTRACT From microbes to cancer, variability in gene expression can lead to nongenetic phenotypic heterogeneity. This heterogeneity is important in determining how populations of cells grow, survive fluctuating environments, and develop drug resistance. For example, in...
