Astrocytes locally translate transcripts in their peripheral processes

…, AM Lake, R Khazanchi, R Ouwenga… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
Local translation in neuronal processes is key to the alteration of synaptic strength necessary
for long-term potentiation, learning, and memory. Here, we present evidence that regulated …

Cancer, in addition to many other chronic diseases, is associated with serious and problematic
behavioral symptoms, including cognitive impairments. In humans, various factors likely …

[HTML][HTML] Fmrp targets or not: long, highly brain-expressed genes tend to be implicated in autism and brain disorders

RL Ouwenga, J Dougherty - Molecular autism, 2015 - Springer
… random genes with the same distribution of expression as the 716 Fmrp genes surviving the

The differences in local translatome across distinct neuron types is mediated by both baseline cellular differences and post-transcriptional mechanisms

R Ouwenga, AM Lake, S Aryal, T Lagunas… - ENeuro, 2018 - eneuro.org
Local translation in neurites is a phenomenon that enhances the spatial segregation of proteins
and their functions away from the cell body, yet it is unclear how local translation varies …

There is currently extensive discussion and debate in the literature on how, when, and to
whom genetic research results should be returned (see Genetics in Medicine, April 2012 issue)…

Development Potentials for Superchargers

M Lau, DR Ouwenga - ATZautotechnology, 2011 - Springer
Since 1989 the Eaton Roots type supercharger is being used on many engine applications
