This study shows that PLCγ-dependent phosphoinositide turnover regulates Draper-mediated glial engulfment in Drosophila, linking PLCG2 to neurodegenerative disease risk.

This study identifies Wwox as a protective factor against Alzheimer's disease by modulating metabolic pathways and reducing amyloid pathology in a Drosophila model.

This study investigates ACBD4/5-like proteins across species using phylogenetics and experiments, revealing functional and structural differences in their roles in peroxisome-ER tethering and lipid metabolism.

This study shows that acyl-ghrelin reduces dopamine neuron loss and motor deficits in a rat model of Parkinson's disease.
