This study shows that sleep modulation affects proteostasis and neurodegeneration in Drosophila Tauopathy models by altering autophagy and Tau clearance.

This study identifies dme-miR-1002 as a microRNA that enhances stress resistance by promoting alternative splicing of NMNAT pre-mRNA to the protective RB variant in Drosophila.

The paper identifies biallelic NMNAT2 mutations in two fetuses with FADS, showing their role in axon survival and linking them to Wallerian degeneration.
