Prof. WANG Yiwen and Prof. LIU Kai Collaborated on Establishing an Intracranial Optic Tract Injury Model
Prof. WANG Yiwen (Associate Professor of the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering and the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering) collaborated with Prof. LIU Kai (Professor of the Division of Life Science and the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering) to establish an innovative intracranial pre-olivary pretectal nucleus (OPN) optic tract injury model (pre-OPN OTI), shedding light on crucial mechanisms of functional axonal rewiring following central nervous system injury.
Led by Prof. Liu, their study titled “Functional Optic Tract Rewiring via Subtype- and Target-Specific Axonal Regeneration and Presynaptic Activity Enhancement” was published in Nature Communications in March 2025. Other collaborating universities including the Chinese University of Hong Kong, City University of Hong Kong, and University of Science and Technology of China.
