๐ข A novel gene therapy for #Dravet. https://t.co/b4xbqD4drr. Using Canine adenovirus-2 (CAV-2) we delivered the full SCN1A coding sequence into the hippocampus and thalamus of juvenile Dravet mice.
Sleep and thermoregulation are usually coupled. In our new paper, we find that in a #Dravet syndrome ๐ญ this coupling collapses, with sleep failing to induce cooling and warmth failing to promote sleep.

๐จIt's finally out!๐ฅ | A few years after solving the structure of human cis-PT, we now tackle its dynamics in @NatureComms, revealing that a conserved interfacial loop serves as an allosteric hub, communicating with the active site to regulate catalysis. https://t.co/fZRY0UHjVg

Excited to share our new paper in @FEBSJournal! ๐
We show how a #MYELOMA-linked GGPPS mutation tweaks hexamerization, substrate binding and product inhibition, revealing an unexpected layer of protein prenylation regulation

How does a cytoplasmic enzyme make a membrane product? ๐ค๐งฌ
We found that a hydrophobic residue cluster helps the human cis-prenyltransferase feed its product into the ER membrane!
MD simulations + fluorescence = mechanistic insight ๐

Stop the doom scrolling! A new ๐๏ธ from my lab, describing one of our flagship projects of many years we are super excited to share:
"Inducible formation of fusion transcripts upregulates haploinsufficient CHD2 gene expression".

Excited to share our paper! #GRIN2D-DEE ๐ญmodel mirrors patient symptoms, from behavioral deficits and pathological brain activity to synaptic changes๐ https://t.co/BmUwv1KUy7
An incredible collaboration with a GRIN2D family, @KarenAvraham, researchers & clinicians.
An outstanding group of devoted students - Mor Yam, Jolan Nassir, Danielle Galber, Shir Quinn, Roni Gal, Eden Peled, Mor Ovadia, Mor Bordeynik Cohen; Wayne Frankel, Christopher Makinson, Moran Hausman-Kedem, Aviva Fattal-Valevski. @TAUMedFaculty
Excited to share our upgraded #CHD2 mouse model! ๐ญ๐ง It better mimics the disorder, revealing key symptoms like motor deficits, autistic features & altered brain functionโก๏ธ
An amazing collaboration with @IgorUlitsky, supported by @curechd2.
