Microglia’s heroic battle against neurodegeneration
In this issue of , Chadarevian et al. and Munro et al. demonstrate how the absence of homeostatic microglia leads to severe neuropathologies, including axonal spheroids, calcifications, myelination abnormalities, and gliosis, associated with leukoencephalopathy and age-related neurodegeneration. Transplantation of healthy microglia can reverse these conditions, opening new avenues for therapeutic research.In this issue of , Chadarevian et al. […]
Keeping track of time: An interaction of mossy fibers and climbing fibers
Precisely tracking time over second-long timescales is important for accurate anticipation and consequential actions, yet the neurobiological underpinnings remain unknown. In this issue of , Garcia-Garcia and colleagues show that computations in the cerebellum resulting from interactions between the mossy fiber and climbing fiber pathways contribute to long-interval learning during operant conditioning.Precisely tracking time over […]

Spinal cord motor neuron phenotypes and polygenic risk scores in sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: deciphering the disease pathology and therapeutic potential of ropinirole hydrochloride 4 September 2024
IntroductionAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterised by both upper and lower motor neuron (MN) degeneration. Approximately, 90% of patients with ALS have sporadic ALS (SALS). Thus, identifying the genetic factors of SALS is difficult. However, lower MNs (LMNs), including spinal MNs, that derive from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC-LMNs) in SALS patients […]

A role for Shugoshin in human cilia?
We have recently described a novel role for the conserved centromeric/kinetochore protein and cohesin protector, Shugoshin, in cilia of C. elegans. Worms are unusual in that the sole Shugoshin protein ( SGO-1 ) is dispensable for chromosome segregation but required for cilia function in fully differentiated sensory neurons. Depletion of sgo-1 leads to an array […]
sut-2 loss of function mutants protect against tau-driven shortened lifespan and hyperactive pharyngeal pumping in a C. elegans model of tau toxicity.
Expression of human tau in C. elegans neurons causes progressive, age-associated loss of motor coordination, selective neurodegeneration, and shortened lifespan. Loss of function (LOF) mutations in the conserved gene sut-2 protects against progressive motor uncoordination and neurodegeneration in models of tauopathy. To determine whether sut-2 LOF also protects against shortened lifespan of tau transgenic C. […]
