Honored to have been a part of @JMorganLab this summer as part of the @NSF REU program at @MBLScience . This summer has confirmed my desire to pursue a PhD in one of the biological sciences while giving me the tools to achieve this goal. So grateful for this experience!

🚨Ahead-of-print🚨 Katz et al. explore the ability of larval sea lampreys to recover burrowing ability following spinal cord injury. While the ability is recovered 9-11 weeks post spinal cord transection, some deficits persist. 🔗doi.org/10.1086/711365 #neuronalregeneration

@JMorganLab has a @biorxivpreprint providing additional evidence suggesting that impaired vesicle endocytosis is a cellular target of excess α-synuclein & advances understanding of potential mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis in synucleinopathies biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

@JMorganLab & colleagues report a "viable chaperone-based strategy for reversing the synaptic vesicle trafficking defects associated with excess α-synuclein, which may be of value for improving synaptic function in #Parkinsons" eneuro.org/content/early/202….

Vampires are real! This prehistoric fish feeds on the blood and other bodily fluids of fish right here in lake Michigan. See the blood-sucking biology of this invasive species up close in the Great Lakes gallery!
