Axonal injury signaling is restrained by a spared synaptic branch

Laura J. Smithson, Juliana L. Zang, Lucas M. Junginger…·Catherine A. Collins

The paper shows that Wnd/DLK signaling in Drosophila motoneurons is activated only when synaptic terminals are completely removed, not when they are partially spared.

Pyruvate kinase deficiency links metabolic perturbations to neurodegeneration and axonal protection

Thomas J. Waller, Catherine A. Collins, Monica Dus

This study shows that pyruvate kinase deficiency causes axonal and synaptic degeneration in Drosophila, linking metabolic changes to neurodegeneration and axonal protection through specific signaling pathways.
