Kavli Affiliate: Pietro DeCamilli, Kenneth Miller | Authors: Junhyun Park, Kenneth G. Miller, Pietro De Camilli and Shaul Yogev | Summary: Axonal transport is key to neuronal function. Efficient transport requires specific motor-cargo association in the soma, yet the mechanisms regulating this early step remain poorly understood. We found that EBP-1, the C. elegans ortholog […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeremy Nathans | Authors: Jie Wang, Amir Rattner and Jeremy Nathans | Summary: Bacterial meningitis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, especially among infants and the elderly. Here we study mice to assess the response of each of the major meningeal cell types to early postnatal E. coli infection using single […]

Strittmatter | Summary: Comorbid proteinopathies are observed in many neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), increase with age, and influence clinical outcomes, yet the mechanisms remain ill-defined. Here, we show that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shawn Ferguson | Authors: Narayana Yadavalli and Shawn M. Ferguson | Summary: Variants in leucine rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) that increase kinase activity confer risk for sporadic and familial forms of Parkinson’s disease. However, LRRK2-dependent cellular processes responsible for disease risk remain uncertain. Here we show that LRRK2 negatively regulates lysosome degradative […]
