🎙️New episode alert!

Prof. Massimo Hilliard and Dr. Ramón Martínez-Mármol discuss neuronal fusion🧠, how viral infections🦠 can disrupt neural circuits through fusion, and how C. elegans🪱, a tiny roundworm, might one day revolutionise nerve injury repair!

Out now! We found a new molecule, OSP-1, that protects neurons from damage caused by oxidative stress. We show that OSP-1 reduces cell death by regulating autophagy, and can be an exciting target for future treatments of acute insults such as stroke.
