Yogesh Srivastava, Ph.D.
YSrivastava@mdanderson.org
Research Project: Yogesh Srivastava is addressing the mechanistic basis for how two distinct complexes of delta-catenin generate distinct effects upon the shapes of neuronal dendrites, namely promoting their lengthening versus branching. The many dendrites that emanate from neurons contribute to each neuron’s “dendritic tree”, needed for the development and maintenance of proper neuronal circuitry, and which are mishappen in many pathologic contexts.
