Exciting to have our OSP-1 story featured as part of the Editors’ Highlights at @NatureComms!.
Out now! We found a new molecule, OSP-1, that protects neurons from damage caused by oxidative stress. We show that OSP-1 reduces cell death by regulating autophagy, and can be an exciting target for future treatments of acute insults such as stroke.
