OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Brain injury regeneration: a role for ADAM17/TACE and PKCε
Neuronal replacement from neural stem cells (NSC) in brain lesions is ineffective and does not complete regeneration or functional recovery. After a brain lesion, neural stem cells are recruited to the peri-lesion area, but generate few neurons because of signals that promote glial differentiation or death of neural progenitors. Our laboratory studies mechanisms underlying neurogenesis deficiency within brain lesions and elucidated that ADAM17/TACE and PKCε play an important role in determining neuronal fate of neural progenitors. In addition we have designed strategies to modulate ADAM17/TACE and PKC activity in vitro and in vivo in mechanical brain lesions of the cerebral cortex achieving a substantial increase in neurogenesis.
