Our paper is finally out! cell.com/cell-reports/fullte… Big congratulations to Elham, Jen, Lauren, Manish and Abby!
DLK signaling in axotomized neurons triggers complement activation and loss of upstream synapses

DLK signaling in axotomized neurons triggers complement activation and loss of upstream synapses

Following peripheral nerve injury, microglia hug the cell bodies of axotomized motoneurons, which lose their upstream synaptic inputs. Asghari Adib et al. demonstrate that the phagocytosis of...

A collaboration from the Milbrandt and DiAntonio labs led by Tong Wu identifies how a neurotoxin from the 1940's activates Sarm1 to result in neurodegeneration. Suggests Sarm1 as a potential mediator of environmental neurotoxicity. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3468…
Neurotoxins subvert the allosteric activation mechanism of SARM1 to induce neuronal loss - PubMed

Neurotoxins subvert the allosteric activation mechanism of SARM1 to induce neuronal loss - PubMed

SARM1 is an inducible TIR-domain NAD+ hydrolase that mediates pathological axon degeneration. SARM1 is activated by an increased ratio of NMN to NAD+, which competes for binding to an allosteric...

Just because I love my injured neurons hugged by microglia. Magenta = motor neurons Red = microglia/ green= lysosomes inside microglia! Hence the yellow. Cyan= nucleus.

We saw a photo of Santa on the Huron River. Clara: Is that the real Santa or is it a meme? Me: do you know what a meme is? Clara: A meme is like Santa on the river Jay: A meme is like a unicorn flossing with explosions in the background.
