On the involvement of tRNAs and mRNA translation in peripheral neuropathy
I worked with the common fruit fly to get a better understanding of a disease affected the peripheral nerves, the ones that allow you to move and the ones you use to sense. This disease is called Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) peripheral neuropathy.
