Our paper on regenerative axonal fusion is now under review at PNAS!!

This would be the Neumann lab's first original research paper. 

This paper was previously rejected after 'review' by eLIFE.
​
Update March 7th, 2017:
Unfortunately after 52 days in review, our paper has been rejected.  
We received comments from 2 reviewers, neither who provided anything constructive (one provided a single sentence review).  Thus, this has been a very frustrating first experience with eLIFE, as after waiting 52 days to hear back, we have gained nothing.  We would have at least expected to receive critical feedback to help us improve the manuscript.  After this experience we will seriously question if it is worth sending any of our future research to this journal.

Update March 15th, 2017:
We have now submitted our paper to PNAS.

This week we welcome Hanadi Hoblos to the Neumann lab!

Hanadi joins us for an undergraduate research project (DEV3990) spanning 12 weeks.  She will be working with Michelle on understanding how connections between neurons (synapses) are maintained.  More specifically, she will be defining the importance of microtubule stability on maintaining synaptic connections.

Welcome Hanadi.
