- Christopher M Elitt's recent research primarily focuses on the developmental regulation of zinc homeostasis in differentiating oligodendrocytes, highlighting the importance of zinc in myelination and its dynamic changes during oligodendrocyte maturation.
- He has identified genetic variants in the CLDN5 gene that contribute to neurological syndromes characterized by symptoms such as seizures and microcephaly, emphasizing the role of the blood-brain barrier in maintaining central nervous system health.
- Elitt's studies on the neurotrophic factor artemin demonstrate its influence on nociceptive sensory neurons, affecting their sensitivity and expression of various channels, thereby linking growth factors to sensory neuron properties and pain perception mechanisms.
