M Schmidt Source Confirmed

OverviewAI-generated summary

M Schmidt, lab manager at John Brown University, investigates cellular transport and secretion, with a particular emphasis on the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders. Schmidt's research leverages human stem cell models to explore disease pathology, especially concerning the role of RNA regulation. Recent work has focused on the lysosomal defects that precede neurodegeneration, as well as mutation-specific responses in Christianson syndrome. Schmidt's investigations also extend to the chromatin environment, examining how its dysregulation can lead to differential alternative splicing in autism spectrum disorder. This work also includes creating models for neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 disease using human stem cells.
