Focal neuronal loss and cell replacement in a connectome model of fly steering

Pardes Habib, Michael Angelo Petr, Ruslan Rust

The paper uses a connectome model of the fruit-fly nervous system to simulate motor recovery after neuronal loss, finding that targeted cell replacement based on identity and connections improves recovery.

Inhibition of the neuromuscular acetylcholine receptor with atracurium activates FOXO/DAF-16-induced longevity

Rebecca L. McIntyre, Simone W. Denis, Rashmi Kamble, Marte Molenaars, Michael Angelo Petr, Bauke V. Schomakers, Mizanur Rahman, Siddhartha Datta Gupta, Márton L. Tóth, Siva A. Vanapalli, Aldo Jongejan, Morten Scheibye‐Knudsen, Riekelt H. Houtkooper, Georges E. Janssens

The paper identifies atracurium as an FDA-approved compound that extends lifespan and healthspan in C. elegans by activating the FOXO/DAF-16 longevity pathway through neuromuscular acetylcholine receptor inhibition.
