Our paper just came out in Cell Reports, thank you to everyone that contributed! Differential neuronal vulnerability to C9orf72 repeat expansion driven by Xbp1-induced endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation: Cell Reports www.cell.com/cell-reports...
Differential neuronal vulnerability to C9orf72 repeat expansion driven by Xbp1-induced endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation
C9orf72 repeat expansion, a leading cause of ALS/FTD, triggers selective neuronal
death. Using a Drosophila model, Shen et al. identified vulnerable and resistant neuronal
populations. Resistance corr...

This Thanksgiving, I am hugely grateful for scientists who were pioneers in our field - particularly those who did not receive the credit they deserved in their own time. Inspiring examples published today:
