Just out in bioRxiv: our study shows that the synapsins interact with alpha-synuclein through their E domain. Not only is the E domain required - it is sufficient... Great collaboration with Subhojit Roy @Roy_Lab_Thinks and his excellent group at UCSD.

Excited about our latest paper in Neurobiology of Disease, showing two aa's differentiate between the synaptic effects of human and mouse α-synuclein:
Synaptic attenuation by human alpha-synuclein depends on two amino acids in its C-terminal tail. https://t.co/DurfBeR3lW

OK then, our paper @eLife. Conceived by @DanielGitler & transcontinental collab. Lead authors @SashaStavsky & @leonardoaparrar. Thanks to anon reviewers ("highly relevant" "elegant").

Previously, we showed synapsin binds alpha-synuclein and is necessary for a-syn function.🧵1/10

Congratulations to our postdoctoral fellow @leonardoaparrar for receiving the prestigious Launch Award (only one given this year).

@EhudOhana Thank you Udi! I'm glad you like it!

Excited to announce our new paper "Aberrant activity of mitochondrial NCLX is linked to impaired synaptic transmission and is associated with mental retardation" just out in Communications Biology (https://t.co/CWseM0ltoq). Excellent work by Alexandra Stavsky!

@inna_slutsky Thank you Inna, we are so happy to get this story out

[Daniel Gitler @DanielGitler]

@YaaraTevet Indeed, Sasha is amazing!

@LavivTal @TAUMedFaculty Congratulations!

[Daniel Gitler @DanielGitler]

It is a great honor to be awarded this grant. I am very happy to continue my fruitful and rewarding collaboration with Subhojit. Students wanted!

[Subhojit Roy, MD, PhD @Roy_Lab_Thinks]

Excited to work with @DanielGitler on our new @usisraelbsf project!

@christlet @NatureComms @inp_marseille @INSB_CNRS @univamu @Inserm @Sorbonne_Univ_ Congrats!! It's awesome to see a paper with more images than text!!

@christlet In my home, 40% are lefties. Not a majority, but could have been...

@christlet My wife, who is a leftie, has been using "contour mouse" for years and is happy with it. It is wireless, don't know about 4 way scrolling. Saved her from inflammation of the wrist.

Way to go, Topaz!

My first ever interview is now online at Journal of Cell Science! I thank the editors for this great opportunity

This year I spent >10K from my research funds to pay publication fees and for color figures.

At the same time I reviewed for the same journals numerous articles, for free.

In 2017, it was reported that journal publishers had 36% margin – higher than Apple, Google, or Amazon.
