This study identifies BASP1 as a Ca2+-CaN-regulated protein that links actin dynamics to mitochondrial fission, essential for neurite outgrowth and neuroprotection.

This study identifies Ykt6 as a critical SNARE protein regulating GluA1 surface expression during LTP and links its dysfunction to Lewy Body Dementias.

The paper shows that calcineurin-mediated phosphorylation of GAP-43 is critical for neurite and synapse formation and protects against α-synuclein-induced degeneration.

This study shows octopamine reprograms astrocytes to protect neurons from α-synuclein toxicity through metabolic pathways.
