Cahoy J, Emery B, Kaushal A, Foo L, Zamanian J, Christopherson K, et al.
J Neurosci
. 2008 Jan;
28(1):264-78.
PMID: 18171944
Understanding the cell-cell interactions that control CNS development and function has long been limited by the lack of methods to cleanly separate neural cell types. Here we describe methods for...

Stevens B, Allen N, Vazquez L, Howell G, Christopherson K, Nouri N, et al.
Cell
. 2007 Dec;
131(6):1164-78.
PMID: 18083105
During development, the formation of mature neural circuits requires the selective elimination of inappropriate synaptic connections. Here we show that C1q, the initiating protein in the classical complement cascade, is...

Christopherson K, Ullian E, Stokes C, Mullowney C, Hell J, Agah A, et al.
Cell
. 2005 Feb;
120(3):421-33.
PMID: 15707899
The establishment of neural circuitry requires vast numbers of synapses to be generated during a specific window of brain development, but it is not known why the developing mammalian brain...
4.
Washbourne P, Dityatev A, Scheiffele P, Biederer T, Weiner J, Christopherson K, et al.
J Neurosci
. 2004 Oct;
24(42):9244-9.
PMID: 15496659
Neuronal transmission relies on signals transmitted through a vast array of excitatory and inhibitory neuronal synaptic connections. How do axons communicate with dendrites to build synapses, and what molecules regulate...
5.
Ullian E, Christopherson K, Barres B
Glia
. 2004 Jul;
47(3):209-216.
PMID: 15252809
Nearly one-half of the cells in a human brain are astrocytes, but the function of these little cells remains a great mystery. Astrocytes form an intimate association with synapses throughout...

Christopherson K, Sweeney N, Craven S, Kang R, El-Husseini A, Bredt D
J Cell Sci
. 2003 Jun;
116(Pt 15):3213-9.
PMID: 12829740
Postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95/SAP-90) is a palmitoylated membrane-associated guanylate kinase that oligomerizes and clusters ion channels and associated signaling machinery at excitatory synapses in brain. However, the mechanism for...
