Very excited to announce the Robinson and Borner lab paper "AP-4 vesicles contribute to spatial control of autophagy via RUSC-dependent peripheral delivery of ATG9A" finally lives and breathes online! Thanks to everyone who has been involved! #CureSPG47

Molly has recently taken an interest in ballet, but it has been a challenge finding a dance class for her due to her physical limitations. So - we brought ballet to her! We installed a ballet bar and mirror in her playroom and a family friend came over and taught her ballet!

SPG47 causes extreme weakness in Molly’s legs and she works so hard each and every day to get stronger. Bending down to pick things up from the ground may seem simple to most, but this is a HUGE accomplishment for Molly!

December a very exciting month for AP-4 deficiency research. Independent studies from Bonifacino (NIH), Robinson (CIMR) & Kittler (UCL) labs are in agreement on a potential disease mechanism. Happy Christmas @CureSPG47. I hope we see continued progress in 2018 to #CureSPG47.
Exciting new work on AP-4, making the AP-4 deficiency picture clearer. AP-4 vesicles unmasked by organellar proteomics to reveal their cargo and machinery

What a great segment @KerryKavanaugh (an old friend of Kasey’s from #Medford) and Boston 25 news did on us tonight for their 6pm news! Even better- if you missed it you can see it again at 10 PM! Set your DVR if you’re an early bird! #Boston25

Our latest paper showing that adaptor protein complex AP-4 mediates export of the autophagy protein ATG9A from the TGN is out on PNAS. https://t.co/VJaZouvKie Findings may be relevant to AP-4 deficiency syndrome @CureSPG47 Effects of AP-4 KO on ATG9A distribution are dramatic.
