This study shows that RNA exosome dysfunction disrupts developmental timing and lineage fidelity in human cerebellar organoids, leading to neurodevelopmental defects.

This study shows that impaired RNA surveillance has tissue-specific effects, with mitochondrial dysfunction being a shared consequence in Drosophila.

This study uses a Drosophila model to show that RNA exosome mutations disrupt brain transcriptomes and cause neurodegeneration by altering rRNA processing.

This study identifies Nab2's role in regulating m6A-dependent splicing of Sxl in Drosophila neuronal tissue, linking it to developmental and behavioral phenotypes.

This study uses a Drosophila model to show that mutations in EXOSC3 cause neuronal dysfunction by altering RNA exosome function and affecting key neuronal RNAs.
