[Chaolin Zhang @chaolinzhang]

Excited to share our latest work on a neuron type–specific microexon in Ank3/Ankyrin-G—revealing its role in regulating neuronal excitability and calcium signaling, beyond its classic function at the axon initial segment!

This project has been remarkable for many reasons:

✅ Started in 2017 — eight years in the making
✅ First mouse model generated in our lab
✅ Made possible by an extraordinary team effort

Huge congratulations to co-first authors Shah Alam, Georgia Dermentzaki, David Cabrera-Garcia, Miao Li, and Ruizhi (Ricky) Wang, and to early project leaders Melissa Campbell and Brittany Phillips.

Deeply grateful to our outstanding collaborators Neil Harrison, Guang Yang, Yueqing Peng, and many others.

Special thanks to Vann Bennett, who pioneered the AnkG field, for his encouragement and enthusiastic support on the study!

Early access link below (unedited version). I’ll share a more detailed tweetorial soon!
