This study shows that Tau aggregation, not phosphorylation, is critical for neurotoxicity in Drosophila, suggesting that targeting aggregation may be more effective than targeting phosphorylation in tauopathies.

This paper develops a tool to conditionally degrade UNC-31 in C. elegans to study neuropeptide function with spatiotemporal precision, revealing specific defects in egg-laying, locomotion, and vesicle release.

This study shows that disrupting CMT2-associated genes in C. elegans causes similar movement, muscle, and neuromuscular junction defects.
