Research grant to study the role of long noncoding RNAs in neurodevelopmental disorders using human cerebral organoids to understand gene networks and neuronal functions.
Description
The project aims to determine the functions of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) that contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders. The research will involve manipulating expression in human cerebral organoids to identify gene networks, binding interactions, and effects on neuronal differentiation, synaptic function, and social behavior.
