Steve Henle, assistant professor of neuroscience, together with colleagues at Harvard Medical School and the University of Utah, published research in the journal Cell Reports.

This paper, titled “Fat3 acts through independent cytoskeletal effectors to coordinate asymmetric cell behaviors during polarized circuit assembly,” explores the role of the Fat3 protein in the development of the eye and its circuitry.

This work connects genetics, cell biology, development, and neuroscience to examine how one gene can regulate all these coordinate numerous processes needed to lead to normal vision. The hope is this will give us a better understanding of how our eye creates vision and what we can do to treat blindness.
