Joe Dougherty @CarpeRibosomam says, "We were studying this very wonky basic science question,‘How do proteins get made?’, & we noticed this funny thing." The study, led by @darshan1s, points to new approach to clearing toxic waste from brain. https://bit.ly/3Ak1mwJ
Check out this great new article out in BRAIN https://doi.org/10.1093/brain/awac199 from the Dougherty Lab(@CarpeRibosomam) led by @darshan1s. Loss of #AQP4-X reduces Abeta clearance, and they identify 2 drugs that boost translational readthrough and Abeta clearance!
Congrats @joeddougherty and @gurnett_c! We agree whole-heartedly that IDDRC@WUSTL couldn't have chosen a more fearless co-leader!
