Overview

John A. Faulkner is affiliated with the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor in the United States. Their research primarily spans several interconnected fields including Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, Medicine, and Neuroscience. The work covers a number of specialized subfields such as Molecular Biology, Endocrine and Autonomic Systems, Cell Biology, Infectious Diseases, and Cognitive Neuroscience.

The main topics of their research involve Circadian rhythm and melatonin, Sleep and Wakefulness Research, Proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans research, Fibroblast Growth Factor Research, Platelet Disorders and Treatments, and investigations related to COVID-19 clinical research and SARS-CoV-2.

Frequent publication venues for their work include Scientific Reports, Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Behavioural Brain Research, and Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience.

Recent papers authored or co-authored by John A. Faulkner include:

  • Heparan Sulfate Facilitates Spike Protein-Mediated SARS-CoV-2 Host Cell Invasion and Contributes to Increased Infection of SARS-CoV-2 G614 Mutant and in Lung Cancer (2021), Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences
  • Wake-sleep cycles are severely disrupted by diseases affecting cytoplasmic homeostasis (2020), Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Robo4 is constitutively shed by ADAMs from endothelial cells and the shed Robo4 functions to inhibit Slit3-induced angiogenesis (2022), Scientific Reports
  • Circadian rhythm shifts and alcohol access in adolescence synergistically increase alcohol preference and intake in adulthood in male C57BL/6 mice (2022), Behavioural Brain Research
  • Inhibition of casein kinase 1 δ/ε improves cognitive performance in adult C57BL/6J mice (2021), Scientific Reports

John A. Faulkner has collaborated frequently with several coauthors, including:

  • Xuehong Song
  • Lianchun Wang
  • Joshua J. Gamsby
  • Hannah Justin
  • Heather Mahoney

The research conducted by John A. Faulkner involves a multidisciplinary approach to understanding molecular and cellular processes underlying circadian rhythms, infectious diseases, and neurological functions. The studies on SARS-CoV-2 mechanisms contribute to the growing body of knowledge on COVID-19, with an emphasis on viral entry facilitated by heparan sulfate and implications for cancer-affected tissues.

Work on circadian biology intersects with behavioral neuroscience, examining how factors such as alcohol consumption during adolescence can influence adult behavior and how disruption in wake-sleep cycles relates to systemic disease. Faulkner's investigations into cognitive performance involve molecular targets like casein kinase, which are important in neural regulation and therapeutic potential.
