Nice commentary by Santiago Uribe-Cano and Andreas Kottmann on Suzanne Pfeffer and LRRK2 Central recent work funded by Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s suggesting that loss of cilia in striatal cholinergic neurons is a hallmark of #Parkinsons. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Thank you for the thoughtful commentary of our work!

We are really excited to share these data! This project was a DEEP dive into investigating the structural effects of cocaine self-administration on astrocytes, which revealed a surprising role for microglia pruning astrocyte membranes across abstinence.

Excited to share our protocol to build a system to integrate Calcium-imaging, Pupillometry, and Locomotion-estimated Tracking (CaPuLeT) in head-fixed mice. Shout to Mariamagdalena Ortiz-Juza and Jovan Tormes Vaquerano for leading these efforts in collaboration with UNC-Optics. star-protocols.cell.com/protocols/3752

Published today! Spatial proteomics reveals JAK/STAT as a target for Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, an often fatal skin reaction to common medication. We validated our findings in pre-clinical models & successfully treated the first patients worldwide.🧵⬇️ nature.com/articles/s4158…

At the end of 2018 I was lucky to receive a CZI Science Ben Barres award. This preprint is the culmination of that funding, which allowed us to try "out of the box" ideas to study neurodegeneration. Fearlessly led by amazing student Mitali Tyagi! 🧵 /1 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We have a fully-funded Postdoctoral Fellow position open in somatosensation development!!! I'm committed to supporting and mentoring all trainees in my lab. Please help me retweet this opportunity. :) jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/663050/pos…

Thrilled to see part of my thesis work, supported by the American Heart Association Predoctoral Fellowship published in Cell Reports by Cell Press! This work has been both challenging and rewarding, and I couldn't have done it without the incredible support of my mentor Lori O'Brien,

Our latest paper on neuronal resilience. The apoptotic pathway is activated as a transient pulse in neurons even with continuous apoptotic stimulus. Neurons prepare for survival even when they activate apoptotic signaling. Congrats Keeley and others!! nature.com/articles/s4141…

Preprint alert! Led by Shannon Rhoads, we used 🌈🔬 to elucidate the #organelle signatures of #neurons and #astrocytes at baseline and in response to neurodegenerative-disease associated stressors. See Shannon's awesome tweetorial below! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our new preprint on the #Hedgehog pathway! We uncover how #Smoothened (SMO), a noncanonical #GPCR, binds & inhibits #PKA via an intrinsically disordered region, mimicking known GPCR/PKA signaling complexes despite minimal sequence similarity. #AlphaFold #IDR

We are pleased to announce our new #KSFellows class of 2025, which features exceptional scientists from diverse backgrounds who will become tomorrow’s research leaders! Read more about these rising stars in the Keypoint Newsletter! #DiversityinScience hubs.la/Q030yFsp0
