Journal Article
Uras, G., Manca, A., Zhang, P., Markus, Z., Mack, N., Allen, S., …Zhu, Z. (2021). In vivo Evaluation of a Newly Synthesized Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitor in a Transgenic Drosophila Model of Alzheimer’s Disease. Frontiers in Neuroscience, 15, Article 691222. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2021.691222

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by disrupted memory, learning functions, reduced life expectancy, and locomotor dysfunction, as a result of the accumulation and aggregation of amyloid peptides that cause neuronal dama...

An apicobasal gradient of Rac activity determines protrusion form and position (2017)
Journal Article
Couto, A., Mack, N. A., Favia, L., & Georgiou, M. (2017). An apicobasal gradient of Rac activity determines protrusion form and position. Nature Communications, 8, Article 15385. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms15385

Each cell within a polarised epithelial sheet must align and correctly position a wide range of subcellular structures, including actin-based dynamic protrusions. Using in vivo inducible transgenes that can sense or modify Rac activity, we demonstrat... Read More about An apicobasal gradient of Rac activity determines protrusion form and position.
