Yewon Jeon, a graduate student at Korea University (thesis advisor: Prof. Yongcheol Cho, PhD) has joined our lab as a visiting student. Welcome Yewon!



07.07.2020

Jung Eun’s work on the role of Prom1 is now published in PNAS! The paper reports that Prom1 regulates Smad signaling in the axon regeneration pathway and promotes peripheral nerve regeneration. The project was carried out as a collaboration with Dr. Yongcheol Cho's lab at Korea University. The work was selected for the cover image of the issue and also posted in local news papers.
