An open-source head-fixation and implant-protection system for mice
This study presents a head-fixation and implant-protection system for mice including a headbar, headhat and head fixation station to facilitate experimental procedures in vivo. All 3D-printing files are open source and readily available and editable
Astrocytic LRRK2 Controls Synaptic Connectivity through ERM Phosphorylation
This study shows that the Lrrk2 gene affects astrocyte morphology by regulating ERM protein phosphorylation, which when reduced, restores synaptic function in PD, suggesting astrocytes as potential therapeutic targets.
