Welcome to the Crossin Laboratory

Overview

Work in my laboratory has focused on factors that influence the proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) from rodent brain. Our initial work in this arena focused on signaling by cell and substrate adhesion molecules in NSCs and other neural cell types. Our recent work has focused on two arenas: (1) the influence of mitochondrial composition and function on NSC differentiation and (2) the effects of oxygen levels on NSC proliferation, migration, and differentiation.
