📢 New Publication!
Excited to share my latest research in Open Biology! @royalsocietypublishing.org

We developed live Drosophila models to track whole organism and neuronal pexophagy - the selective autophagy of peroxisomes - in vivo.

Paper alert! 🚀very happy to have been involved in this collaboration @livuni-ismib.bsky.social where we developed pexophagy reporters for use in Drosophila research. Great work from @drbaronefg.bsky.social

🚀 Hot off the press! Our team findings @livuni-ismib.bsky.social on brain ageing unveil a novel connection between oxidative stress, neuronal microtubules, and the cytoskeletal protein EB1 driving neuronal atrophy. 🎉 A huge thank you to the fantastic team!

Oxidative Stress Promotes Axonal Atrophy through Alterations in Microtubules and EB1 Function
<p>Axons are crucial for transmitting neurochemical signals. As organisms age, the ability of neurons to maintain their axons declines; hence, aged axons are more susceptible to damage or dysfunction....
