In our recent paper we show that TDP43 mislocalization and condensates in axons and neuromuscular junction cause Neurodegenration in ALS by inhibiting local synthesis of mitochondrial proteins

We are seeking an exceptional and highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher with a background in molecular & cellular neuroscience.

RT @Brain1878: Dwivedi and Roy review how epigenetic changes and RNA modifications work together to regulate gene expression in the brain, and propose that this interaction helps shape vulnerability and resilience to neuropsychiatric disorders.

RT @TrowbridgeLab: The Jackson Laboratory is a wonderful, collaborative place to pursue basic & translational science. On the faculty job market? I strongly encourage you to consider joining us in Bar Harbor, Maine! Apply: #JAXresearch #JAXstemcellsdev

RT @ShorterLab: Prevention of Unc13a cryptic splicing is sufficient to preserve memory:

RT @Brain1878: Ellis et al. show that cellular stress downregulates the ALS-associated protein STMN2 through impaired translation and stress granule-mediated mechanisms independently of TDP-43 dysfunction.

RT @JAMA_current: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive weakness due to degeneration of upper motor neurons in the brain and lower motor neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord. Learn more in this Review:
