Summary: The tyrosine phosphatase STEP61 is the molecular brake that is lost to drive a coupling between KCC2-dependent disinhibition and the potentiation of GluN2B NMDARs in a pathological spinal mechanism that is conserved between rodent and human models of chronic pain. The ex vivo human BDNF model developed in this paper helps form a translational bridge between rodents and humans for identification and validation of novel molecular pain targets.

Hadir Mahmoud Successfully Defends her Master's Thesis
August, 2018
Congratulations to the Hildebrand lab's Hadir Mahmoud for her well-deserved M.Sc. in Neuroscience. Hadir began as an undergraduate honour's thesis student in the Hildebrand lab where she won top prize at Carleton University's Undergraduate Research Day. From there she continued on into her M.Sc. in our lab, earning respect from her peers and faculty for her hard work and dedication. We are excited for Hadir's next step. Congratulations Hadir and Good Luck!
