Papagiannakopoulos T, Friedmann-Morvinski D, Neveu P, Dugas J, Gill R, Huillard E, et al.
Oncogene . 2011 Aug; 31(15):1884-95. PMID: 21874051
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) carry out post-transcriptional control of a multitude of cellular processes. Aberrant expression of miRNA can lead to diseases, including cancer. Gliomas are aggressive brain tumors that are thought...

Ullian E, Barkis W, Chen S, Diamond J, Barres B
Mol Cell Neurosci . 2004 Jul; 26(4):544-57. PMID: 15276156
NMDA excitotoxicity has been proposed to mediate the death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in glaucoma and ischemia. Here, we reexamine the effects of glutamate and NMDA on rat RGCs...

Ullian E, Harris B, Wu A, Chan J, Barres B
Mol Cell Neurosci . 2004 Mar; 25(2):241-51. PMID: 15019941
Glia constitute 90% of cells in the human nervous system, but relatively little is known about their functions. We have been focusing on the potential synaptic roles of glia in...

Kaplan M, Cho M, Ullian E, Isom L, Levinson S, Barres B
Neuron . 2001 May; 30(1):105-19. PMID: 11343648
Na(v)1.6 is the main sodium channel isoform at adult nodes of Ranvier. Here, we show that Na(v)1.2 and its beta2 subunit, but not Na(v)1.6 or beta1, are clustered in developing...

Wang S, Sdrulla A, Johnson J, Yokota Y, Barres B
Neuron . 2001 Apr; 29(3):603-14. PMID: 11301021
Compared to neurons, the intracellular mechanisms that control glial differentiation are still poorly understood. We show here that oligodendrocyte lineage cells express the helix-loop-helix proteins Mash1 and Id2. Although Mash1...

Mi H, Haeberle H, Barres B
J Neurosci . 2001 Feb; 21(5):1538-47. PMID: 11222644
Here we have investigated the mechanisms that control astrocyte differentiation within the developing rat optic nerve. Astrocytes are normally generated by astrocyte precursor cells within the embryonic optic nerve. We...

Science . 2001 Feb; 291(5504):657-61. PMID: 11158678
Although astrocytes constitute nearly half of the cells in our brain, their function is a long-standing neurobiological mystery. Here we show by quantal analyses, FM1-43 imaging, immunostaining, and electron microscopy...

Barres B, Barde Y
Curr Opin Neurobiol . 2000 Nov; 10(5):642-8. PMID: 11084327
Here, we review progress in our understanding of neuronal and glial cell biology during the past ten years, with an emphasis on glial cell fate specification, apoptosis, the cytoskeleton, neuronal...
