Glutamate receptors, neurotoxicity and neurodegeneration

A Lau, M Tymianski - Pflügers Archiv-European Journal of Physiology, 2010 - Springer
Glutamate excitotoxicity is a hypothesis that states excessive glutamate causes neuronal
dysfunction and degeneration. As glutamate is a major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central …

Coherent detection in optical fiber systems

E Ip, APT Lau, DJF Barros, JM Kahn - Optics express, 2008 - opg.optica.org
The drive for higher performance in optical fiber systems has renewed interest in coherent
detection. We review detection methods, including noncoherent, differentially coherent, and …

[HTML][HTML] Super-enhancers in the control of cell identity and disease

D Hnisz, BJ Abraham, TI Lee, A Lau, V Saint-André… - Cell, 2013 - cell.com
Super-enhancers are large clusters of transcriptional enhancers that drive expression of genes
that define cell identity. Improved understanding of the roles that super-enhancers play in …

[HTML][HTML] Selective inhibition of tumor oncogenes by disruption of super-enhancers

J Lovén, HA Hoke, CY Lin, A Lau, DA Orlando… - Cell, 2013 - cell.com
Chromatin regulators have become attractive targets for cancer therapy, but it is unclear
why inhibition of these ubiquitous regulators should have gene-specific effects in tumor cells. …
