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...

UCL IHA Virtual Symposium: Neurodegeneration in Flies This seminar series brings together researchers from around the globe who study neurodegenerative diseases and age-related neurodegeneration using flies.

Thursday 5th Dec, 4pm UK time:
Join us to hear Dr María José Ferreiro (IIBCE institute in Montevideo, Uruguay) tell us about her work on new neuroprotective genes discovered using #neurodegeneration models in #Drosophila! Zoom link, future speakers list, and email sign-up at:
