Thanks to The University of Queensland for highlighting our discovery of a nanoscale scaffold, in the tissue that surrounds the axon, that protects sensory axons from degenerating. news.uq.edu.au/2026-01-plea... @hilliardlab.bsky.social

Latest paper is now out and features on the cover of Science Advances 👉 tinyurl.com/vea5862x Very grateful Igor Bonacossa Pereira, Dat Le & Massimo Hilliard @hilliardlab.bsky.social for their creativity & passion. Read more about it 👉 tinyurl.com/56awjda5 & 👉 tinyurl.com/2vp8p8uk

The MPS visits the axon's neighbors! Interesting results from @hilliardlab.bsky.social & @coakleylab.bsky.social in C. elegans where the epidermis forms a submembrane axon-imprinted periodic spectrin skeleton that restrict the endocytosis of cell surface proteins: doi.org/10.1126/scia...

What a fantastic gift from Red, our undergrad rotation student this semester. A needle felt C. elegans! Thank you Red 🙏#worm #celegans #scienceart #science

A little piece I wrote for the conversation on the role of curiosity in medical breakthroughs 👇 theconversation.com/curiosity-dr...

I'll be presenting our work from @coakleylab.bsky.social #CellBio2024 where we discovered a periodic spectrin skeleton in the skin of C. elegans that protects neurons from damage. Come say hi 👋 P1427 Sunday 15th 11:15am-12:45pm @ascbiology.bsky.social

It was a good week this week 👇 🥂 www.coakleylab.com/news/arc-discovery-project-success
