Abstract: Significance Mutations in the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) biosynthesis pathway are associated with progressive neurodegeneration; neuronal injury causes rapid breakdown of damaged axons and dendrites. NAD+ reduction is thought to underlie both types of degeneration… read more here.

Abstract: Genetic approaches in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, have led to a major triumph in the field of sensory biology-the discovery of multiple large families of sensory receptors and channels. Some of these families, such… read more here.
