Thank you!!
just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale. a tale of a fateful … clip. and the tale of the latest scientific adventure from the @moscalab on bioRxiv!! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
γ-secretase promotes postsynaptic maturation through the cleavage of a Wnt receptor

γ-secretase promotes postsynaptic maturation through the cleavage of a Wnt receptor

An emerging feature of neurodegenerative disease is synaptic dysfunction and loss, leading to the suggestion that mechanisms required for synaptic maturation may be linked to disease. Synaptic...

We've had two rotation students recently as well! Jesse Humenik (@Neural_Tangent) joined us from GPN in the fall and Justin Gumas joins us this winter from BMP. They're both looking at synaptic development in the fly as part of their first year of grad school!

Welcome to Dr. Kristen Davis (@kcd739), also our new postdoc! She studied injury, worms, & sleep in her first postdoc at @Penn in David Raizen's lab. With us, she'll dive in the fly world to study synaptic circuitry mechanisms. Welcome, Dr. Davis!

Welcome to Dr. Juan Duhart (@DuhartJC), our new postdoc! He studied BMP signaling in epithelial morphogenesis in the Raftery Lab at @unlv. He's got to get used to the snow and cold, but he'll be studying the neuronal surfaceome in synapse organization! Welcome, Dr. Duhart!
