| Non-apoptotic role of caspase-3 in synapse refinement |
|
| (2014-3-14) |
Dr. LUO Zhenge’s lab reported that caspase-3, the effector protease involved in apoptosis, mediates elimination of AChR clusters. They found that caspase-3 was activated by cholinergic stimulation of cultured muscle cells without inducing cell apoptosis and this activation was prevented by agrin.....

| Researchers reveal differential effect of longevity manipulations on aging of nervous system in C. elegans |
|
| (2014-3-14) |
A study from Dr. CAI Shiqing’s lab reported that extension of lifespan does not necessarily delay age-related behavioral deterioration. The study demonstrates that dietary restriction preserves healthy behaviors in aged worms at least partially by sustaining a high 5-HT/DA level.....
