Autophagy induction mitigates FUS aggregate formation and early synaptic dysfunction at the NMJ in the FUS-ALS model

Tulika Malik, Sam Jones, Olivia Ma…·Daniel T. Babcock

This study shows that inducing autophagy reduces FUS aggregate formation and synaptic dysfunction in an ALS model.

The Vesicular Glutamate Transporter Modulates Sex and Region-Specific Differences in Dopaminergic Neuron α-Synuclein Toxicity by Modifying Cytosolic Dopamine Levels

Kevin Garzillo, Mia Perulli, Daniel T. Babcock

This study shows that lower vesicular glutamate transporter levels in dopamine neurons increase cytosolic dopamine, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and increased α-synuclein A53T toxicity in female flies.
