Different mechanisms link gain and loss of kinesin functions to axonal degeneration

Yu-Ting Liew, David M. Bailey, William Cairns, Maureece Day, Federico Dajas‐Bailador, Ella Jones, Sophie McCann, Matthias Landgraf, Lydia Lorenzo-Cisneros, Thomas Murphy, Milli Owens, Devesh C. Pant, Jill Parkin, Haydn Tortoishell, André Voelzmann, Andreas Prokop

The paper investigates how both loss and gain of kinesin functions lead to axonal degeneration through microtubule curling in Drosophila neurons.

Balance of Activity during a Critical Period Tunes a Developing Network

Iain Hunter, Bramwell Coulson, Tom Pettini, Jacob J. Davies, Jill Parkin, Matthias Landgraf, Richard Baines

This study shows that balanced neural activity during a critical period is essential for normal circuit development, as imbalances lead to hyperexcitability and reduced network robustness.

Re-evaluating the actin-dependence of spectraplakin functions during axon growth and maintenance

Yue Qu, Juliana Alves‐Silva, Kriti Gupta, Ines Hahn, Jill Parkin, Natalia Sánchez‐Soriano, Andreas Prokop

This study investigates the role of spectraplkin proteins in axon growth and maintenance, revealing that their function depends on a balanced interaction with F-actin and that they have actin-independent roles in microtubule bundling.
