This study investigates the roles of DLK and LZK in axon regeneration and sprouting in zebrafish neurons, finding context-dependent effects on different neuron types.

The paper tests a 'two-hit' model for neurodevelopmental defects by examining interactions between 16p12.1 homologs and 'second-hit' genes in Drosophila and Xenopus laevis, finding genetic interactions in 63% of tested pairs.

This study identifies delta 2 tubulin as a key player in bortezomib-induced peripheral neuropathy by showing its role in axonopathy and mitochondrial motility disruption.

The paper identifies genetic interactions within the 16p11.2 deletion that modulate neurodevelopmental phenotypes in Drosophila and links these interactions to human brain networks.
