Our recent paper on the role of the wnt antagonist, DKK3, in Alzheimer’s Disease and synapse degeneration (Martin-Flores et al, eLife, 2024), was featured as the cover article for January 2024!
Our findings on the reversal of synapse degeneration by restoring wnt signalling in the adult hippocampus (Marzo et al, Curr Biol, 2016) were discussed at scientific forums and in the news.
