GSK-3beta inhibition reverses axonal transport defects and behavioural phenotypes in Drosophila.

TL;DR: The data show that tau abnormalities significantly disrupt neuronal function, in a phosphorylation-dependent manner, before the classical pathological hallmarks are evident and also suggest that the inhibition of GSK-3β might have potential therapeutic benefits in tauopathies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developmental architecture of adult-specific lineages in the ventral CNS of Drosophila.

TL;DR: An overall view of the initial connections that eventually lead to the complex connectivity of the bulk of the thoracic neurons is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Compact diode-pumped passively Q-switched tunable Er-Yb double-clad fiber laser.

TL;DR: Efficient repetitive passive Q switching of a cladding-pumped Er-Yb fiber laser has been demonstrated by use of an external-cavity configuration containing a Co(2+): ZnS crystal as a saturable absorber.
Journal ArticleDOI

Soluble hyper-phosphorylated tau causes microtubule breakdown and functionally compromises normal tau in vivo.

TL;DR: All these phospho-tau-mediated phenotypes occur in the absence of tau filament/neurofibrillary tangle formation or neuronal death, and may constitute the mechanism by which hyper-phosphorylated tau disrupts neuronal function and contributes to cognitive impairment prior to neuronal death in the early stages of t Tauopathies.
