Our discovery of an epidermal membrane-associated periodic scaffold that protects axons from damage is out now in Science Advances and featured on the cover!
Congratulations to Sean, Igor and Dat for their wonderful and inspiring work! @coakleylab.bsky.social

The MPS visits the axon's neighbors! Interesting results from @hilliardlab.bsky.social & @coakleylab.bsky.social in C. elegans where the epidermis forms a submembrane axon-imprinted periodic spectrin skeleton that restrict the endocytosis of cell surface proteins:

🎙️New episode alert!
Prof. Massimo Hilliard and Dr. Ramón Martínez-Mármol discuss neuronal fusion🧠, how viral infections🦠 can disrupt neural circuits through fusion, and how C. elegans🪱, a tiny roundworm, might one day revolutionise nerve injury repair!

Congratulations, Alessandra, for spearheading this wonderful story, which is also featured as part of the Editors’ Highlights at @naturecomms.bsky.social!
Out now! We found a new molecule, OSP-1, that protects neurons from damage caused by oxidative stress. We show that OSP-1 reduces cell death by regulating autophagy, and can be an exciting target for future treatments of acute insults such as stroke.
