I'm very proud that my main study from my PhD is finally out in the journal Brain! This was a huge collaborative project that took several years but I'm happy with the result!

Prior et al. show how an excess of the PMP22 protein dysregulates the storage of lipids and their incorporation into the plasma membrane of Schwann cells, giving rise to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A. tinyurl.com/2pswwm5x

Our review is out! We looked at the advances and challenges of modeling inherited peripheral neuropathies using iPSCs. The review was spearheaded by @JonasVanlent
who done an excellent job 👌🏻 Congrats to all those involved
