We identified that Drosophila FoxA transcription Fork Head (FKH) function is necessary for reduced insulin signalling and rapamycin induced longevity. Furthermore, we determined that FKH function in the gut tissue alone is sufficient to extend lifespan. We carried out RNA-sequencing in gut tissue o...

We have shown previously that older flies are intrinsically more susceptible to Aβ42 toxicity. Building upon these findings, this study aimed to determine the mechanisms by which ageing increases this vulnerability to damage in the brain. A fixed dose of Aβ42 peptide was induced in young (5d) versus...

Drosophila Lnk is the single ancestral orthologue of a highly conserved family of structurally-related intracellular adaptor proteins, the SH2B proteins. As adaptors, they lack catalytic activity but contain several protein-protein interaction domains, thus playing a critical role in signal transduc...

We previously found that the Drosophila FoxA transcription Fork Head (FKH) is necessary for reduced insulin signalling to extend lifespan. We have now identified that increased expression of FKH in neurons alone is sufficient to extend healthy lifespan. We carried out RNA-sequencing in head tissue o...

The overarching goals of the ADSP are to: (1) identify new genomic variants contributing to increased risk of developing AD, (2) identify new genomic variants contributing to protection against developing AD, and (3) provide insight as to why individuals with known risk factor variants escape fro...
