Aging Brains Show Stripes of Cell Death
Purkinje cells, the neurons of the cerebellum, appear to die in an organized pattern, overturning previous beliefs that neurodegeneration occurs homogenously.

Cerebellum aging in stripes?! 🧠🦓
So proud of our student’s (@sarahdonofrio.bsky.social) work showing patterned Purkinje cell loss with age — now featured in The Scientist!

Cheryl’s Paper Published in Cell Reports Methods! New Stereo-Tracking Method and Discovery of Axon Bubbles - Poulopoulos Lab
Axon bubbles: hidden structures in the developing brain, seen for the first time! A new method we call Stereo-Tracking takes advantage of a bioelectrical interaction between DNA and cells in the embry...

Excited to share our latest Nature publication, headed by the Pacold lab. Our experimental compound shows great promise as a novel, mechanistic treatment for a pediatric disorder that can prove fatal. It also highlights the therapeutic relevance of the cerebellum. #neuroskyence tinyurl.com/yh9736m9
Coenzyme Q headgroup intermediates can ameliorate a mitochondrial encephalopathy - Nature
Decreased brain coenzyme Q10 levels cause encephalopathy and are associated with neurodegeneration; supplementation with 4-HMA or 4-HB restores coenzyme Q10 synthesis in mice and humans with HPDL vari...
