Synopsis of recent research by authors named "David Rosenkranz"
- David Rosenkranz's recent research primarily investigates the roles of small RNA pathways, specifically piRNAs, and their implications in various biological processes, such as fertility, gene regulation, and neurogenesis in multicellular organisms.
- His studies revealed significant connections between genetic mutations (e.g., in CEP162 and NPHP1) and human diseases, particularly retinal degeneration and kidney ciliopathies, emphasizing the importance of cilia in both neurogenesis and renal function.
- Rosenkranz's work also explores evolutionary aspects of small RNA mechanisms, including the adaptations of piRNA clusters in different species, which helps in understanding the conservation and functional diversification of these regulatory pathways across animal lineages.
