Excited about our new work led by @silasabuck.bsky.social & #SamMabry where we identified a new mechanism for both sex and regional differences in #dopamine neuron #mitochondria function in #aging and a #Parkinsons model in a #Drosophila model. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

dVGLUT Is a Mediator of Sex Differences in Dopamine Neuron Mitochondrial Function Across Aging and in a Parkinson's Disease Model
We examined sex and regional differences in mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and their implications for dopamine (DA) neuron resilience using the Drosophila model. We found: (1)...

First paper from the lab! We investigated the composition of synaptic vesicles that store fast glutamate or modulatory monoamines. Found distinct composition that affects the regulation of fusion.
