New paper from @LHSanders14 & her team ( escape bio collab.s) reports that the #Parkinsons-associated LRRK2-G2019S mutant expressed at endogenous levels is sufficient to cause mtDNA damage in vitro; Both selective & non-selective LRRK2 inhibitors rescue

A #science conversation that is just fun to watch -
and really interesting that this #mtDNA damage marker seems specific to #parkinsons while being detectable in blood.
Great presentation by @LHSanders14 and moderation by @Dr_Behrouz

With the development of a blood test for damaged mitochondrial DNA, @duke_neurology's @lhsanders14 and team are finding new ways to diagnose Parkinson's disease early on, and hopefully identify treatments to reverse damage 🧬🩸 #DukeBrainInTheNews nih.gov/news-events/nih-rese…

Our first paper of 2023 describes a method we developed to monitor DNA repair synthesis at high resolution- SAR-seq. We have applied this to study programmed DNA repair sites in neurons, repair synthesis during mitosis, and end-resection during homologous recombination.
