Researchers at the University of Bonn in Germany have discovered a previously unknown genetic program in fruit flies
The Drosophila brain is only slightly larger than the point on i, but it is composed of about 100,000 neurons
However, there are striking similarities between these two creatures
WNK plays a dual role
This important discovery was made by Dr.
However, in adult animals, WNK seems to protect existing axons
An important balance between protection and degradation
However, kinases may not be directly involved in these opposite processes
These results may provide new impetus for understanding how neurodegenerative diseases occur in humans and how to treat them
Schmucker hopes that WNK kinases may play a role in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases—for example, by over-activating an active ingredient to increase its ability to protect neurons
Participating institutions and funding: This research was supported by the Belgian "Flanders Research Foundation" (FWO), the French Medical Research Foundation (FRM), the European Union (as part of the ERC start-up fund), the Humboldt Foundation, and Roger · Funding from the De Sporberg Foundation and the Thompson Family Foundation Initiative
