So proud of Sydney and everything she is accomplishing!
Sydney's current research builds on her previous findings on axonal transport 🧠🚗 from her time @upenn.edu with @erikaholzbaur.bsky.social.

Nowadays, Sydney combines this with a new focus 🔍 on lipid trafficking to gain insight into how small cellular imbalances 🧫 cause neuronal dysfunction [2/5]

Please check out the exciting new work from Bishal on the regulation of mitophagy in neurons . . .
Shout out to Dr. Bishal Basak in @erikaholzbaur.bsky.social at @upenn.bsky.social for spearheading the work on identifying a new stress response pathway that regulates mitophagy in neurons!
➡️Read pre-print here: doi.org/10.1101/2024...
🎉 We are celebrating Bishal Basak from CRN Team Hurley as our January #NetworkSpotlight. Bishal worked on a Team paper where he identified a novel, neuron-specific mitophagy pathway. Thank you, Bishal!

In this paper led by Postdoc Kerry Klemmer, we use LES to analyze wind turbine wake deficit and wake added turbulence kinetic energy in stable and neutral atmospheric boundary layers.
Momentum deficit and wake-added turbulence kinetic energy budgets in the stratified atmospheric boundary layer
As wind turbines increase in scale and are deployed in diverse atmospheric conditions, understanding wake dynamics in stratified atmospheric boundary layers becomes critical. This study uses large edd...

The big one is out! So over the moon to see our latest work with Stéphane Vassilopoulos published in Science. Check out how we reveal the unique architecture of clathrin-coated pits and endocytosis at the axon initial segment: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
The actin-spectrin submembrane scaffold restricts endocytosis along proximal axons
Clathrin-mediated endocytosis has characteristic features in neuronal dendrites and presynapses, but how membrane proteins are internalized along the axon shaft remains unclear. We focused on clathrin...
