Summary Axonal and synaptic degeneration are key hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases, but the molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we performed an unbiased forward genetic mosaic screen in Drosophila to identify genes required for maintenance of adult motor axons and neuromuscular junctions (N...

It is shown that G9a is required in insulin-producing cells (IPCs) and the fat body, in the latter during development, to ensure adult sleep integrity, and that a Drosophila sleep-restriction paradigm based on human sleep-restriction therapy can override the developmental defects and restore sleep continuity in adultho...

An integrative study combining Mendelian genetics, clinical and association studies, and animal and molecular modeling supports variants in ELAVL2 as a cause of a neurodevelopmental disorder, with haploinsufficiency as the disease mechanism, and identifies crucial roles of ELAVL2 in neuronal function, cognition, and be...
