Biography

Dr. Clifton Patricia is a distinguished researcher in the Department of Cell Therapy at the University of Arizona, Tucson, USA. Her work focuses on neurocytology the study of cells within the nervous system—and the mechanisms and applications of neural stem cells (NSCs). NSCs possess the unique ability to self-renew and differentiate into various neural cell types, including neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes, making them pivotal in both developmental neuroscience and regenerative medicine. In her 2024 publication, "Neurocytology and Neural Stem Cells: Mechanisms and Applications," Dr. Patricia delves into the characteristics of NSCs, emphasizing their roles in neurogenesis and potential therapeutic applications. She explores key signaling pathways such as Wnt, Notch, and Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) that regulate NSC proliferation and differentiation. Her research highlights the significance of epigenetic modifications in controlling NSC identity and function, which can influence gene expression patterns and impact NSC differentiation and plasticity. Dr. Patricia's work also examines the potential of NSCs in regenerative medicine, particularly their applications in treating neurological disorders and injuries.
