CDC42‐Effector Proteins Regulate Higher Order Structure of Septins Required for CNS Myelin Integrity CDC42-effector proteins 1/2 are present in CNS myelin. They facilitate the higher order structure of myelin septin filaments. Their loss impairs septin-dependent scaffolding of myelin. Myelin o...

Cortical Single-Cell Primers of Abnormal Brain Activity in Parkinson’s Disease | Research Abnormal brain oscillatory activity is a well-established hallmark of bradykinesia and motor impairment in Parkinson’s disease (PD), yet its molecular underpinnings remain unclear. To address this gap...

We link pathological brain activity in PD with distinct signatures in #microglia, #oligodendrocytes and #OPC states and to specific mechanisms of abnormal protein folding, mitochondrial dysfunction and brain immunology in PD for future trials
