🎉 Congratulations to the winners of the 2024 ASAP COSA Virtual Poster Symposium! In May, ASAP hosted the Celebration of Scientific Achievement (COSA) event, a three-day virtual poster symposium where members of the ASAP community are encouraged to exchange scientific ideas and foster new #collaborations. The COSA event provides an avenue to highlight trainee discoveries, along with the innovative and bold approaches that they are taking to tackle our understanding of #ParkinsonsDisease. This year, we were pleased to award prizes to 10 trainees for their outstanding presentations during the event. Learn more about the winners: https://lnkd.in/gi7vCRN5

📣 Using cryo-electron tomography, Team Harper found an amorphous aggregate phase exists next to polyQ aggregates in cultured cells in-situ. Autophagosomes preferentially interacted with the amorphous phase, preventing interaction with the polyQ aggregates. Check out Team Harper's publication to read more about their findings. https://lnkd.in/eAu8Mh9F

📣 Most cases of sporadic #ParkinsonsDisease are hypothesized to arise due to a complex interaction of genetics and environmental factors, such as the microbiome. To explore this hypothesis, Team Gradinaru and Team Sulzer generated germ-free ASO mice and found tissue-specific changes in metabolites driven by genotype, microbiome, and their interaction. Check out their preprint to read more about their findings: https://lnkd.in/gTHkh8j7

📣 Using a Drosophila model which expresses human alpha synuclein in neurons and allows for genetic manipulation of glial cells, Team Scherzer found disrupted glial adenosine metabolism may be a new potential therapeutic target for #ParkinsonsDisease. Check out Team Scherzer's latest preprint to read more about these findings. https://lnkd.in/d46MGkSm

📣 Team De Camilli developed an optimized fluorescent ATP sensor that allows for the monitoring of intracellular ATP consumption. In primary #neurons, Team De Camilli reports individual differences in ATP consumption in synapses of the same axon, suggesting the existence of single-synapse metabolic signatures.
