Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alex Bouchard"
- Alex Bouchard's research primarily focuses on the mechanisms regulating axon growth and guidance in the development of the visual system, highlighting the significance of metabolic intermediates and specific receptors in this process
- His work has identified the roles of carbohydrate metabolite receptors, GPR91 and GPR99, in facilitating retinal ganglion cell (RGC) projections, emphasizing how metabolic signals influence neuronal development
- Additionally, Bouchard has investigated the role of the G-protein-coupled receptor GPR55 in RGC morphology and axon growth, revealing that its absence leads to impaired neuronal growth cone development and reduced axon outgrowth
