Congratulations to Chris Langland and Sydney Walker (former lab member) for their publication in Cells! Using fruit fly avatars, their studies revealed different pathological mechanisms in 2 women with mutations in the LMNA gene, one possessing skeletal muscle disease & the other an Olympic medalist.
