dVGLUT Is a Mediator of Sex Differences in Dopamine Neuron Mitochondrial Function Across Aging and in a Parkinson's Disease Model We examined sex and regional differences in mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and their implications for dopamine (DA) neuron resilience using the Drosophila model. We found: (1)...

Excited about our new work led by @silasabuck.bsky.social & #SamMabry where we identified a new mechanism for both sex and regional differences in #dopamine neuron #mitochondria function in #aging and a #Parkinsons model in a #Drosophila model.

First paper from the lab! We investigated the composition of synaptic vesicles that store fast glutamate or modulatory monoamines. Found distinct composition that affects the regulation of fusion.

Synaptic vesicle-omics in mice captures signatures of aging & synucleinopathy; Synaptic changes in mice lacking α-synuclein suggest that loss of α-synuclein function contributes to synaptic dysfunction
