Imagine if you woke up this morning and found that the NIH-funded database that holds all of the data that you and thousands of other scientists around the world consult every day was turned off. Gone. Despite many efforts by a community of scientists to lobby @NIH @NIHDirector

Type-II kinase inhibitors that target Parkinson's Disease-associated LRRK2
biorxiv.org
Aberrant increases in kinase activity of leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Numerous LRRK2-selective type-I kinase inhibitors have been developed and...

Awesome collaboration with outstanding structural work by @janicereimer3 (as usual). Thanks to the whole team!
New work from our @ASAP_Research team: https://t.co/Ovt6RHwXpl. Parkinson’s disease-linked LRRK2’s closest relative, LRRK1 is tightly regulated via different mechanisms than LRRK2. Great collaboration with @aleschziner, @Daugherty_Lab, and Knapp labs
