Research summary
AI-generated

Ningren Cui's research centers on understanding breathing and neuronal excitability problems in Rett syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder, using rodent models (mice and rats). Much of the work examines how brainstem neurons controlling respiration are affected by genetic disruption of the Mecp2 gene, and tests whether drugs targeting ion channels and GABA/glycine signaling can correct these breathing abnormalities. Note that several unrelated publications (on materials science, thrombosis prediction, and mathematics) appear in this bibliographic record and likely belong to a different author with the same name.

Publication output has been modest and irregular over the last decade, with small peaks (e.g., 2017, 2020) interspersed with gaps (e.g., 2022), and a slight uptick in 2023-2025.
