Be sure to check out these recently published articles:
- Congrats to Kelsey Krus (DiAntonio/Milbrandt labs) on her paper demonstrating that loss of STMN2 in mice induces slowly progressive motor deficits, a cardinal feature of ALS.
- Exciting work from the DiAntonio & Milbrandt labs on the role of Sarm1’s NADase activity in cell signaling at the fly NMJ (and the companion paper from @HTB_soFLY on dSarm1 signaling in glia).
- New bioarchive paper out of the MIlbrandt and DiAntonio labs demonstrates that loss of SARM1 leads to dramatic suppression of axonal, synaptic, and mitochondrial defects in a model of CMT2A peripheral neuropathy.
