Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
U Thaung Shwe's research investigates the roles of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in neurological function and dysfunction. His work has focused on canonical transient receptor potential channel 3 (TRPC3), examining its contributions to hippocampal hyperexcitability and seizure-induced neuronal cell death. Shwe has also studied the pharmacological distinctions between native homomeric TRPC4 channels and heteromeric TRPC1/4 channels within lateral septal neurons. His research has utilized knockout mouse models, including TRPC1/4 double knockout mice, to explore increased susceptibility to pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus and reduced latency to seizures. Shwe has published 8 papers, accumulating 393 citations, and holds an h-index of 5. He collaborates with Fang Zheng and Kevin D. Phelan at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom he shares 3 publications each.
