Our paper just came out in Cell Reports, thank you to everyone that contributed! Differential neuronal vulnerability to C9orf72 repeat expansion driven by Xbp1-induced endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation: Cell Reports www.cell.com/cell-reports...
Differential neuronal vulnerability to C9orf72 repeat expansion driven by Xbp1-induced endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation
C9orf72 repeat expansion, a leading cause of ALS/FTD, triggers selective neuronal death. Using a Drosophila model, Shen et al. identified vulnerable and resistant neuronal populations. Resistance corr...
