In the November 17th edition of biobytes we learn that valproic acid improves the memory deficits of Alzheimer's model mice (Qing et al., JEM), Alan Hall (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York) explains how Cdc42 keeps gut cells facing the right way (Jaffe et al., JCB), and Rachelle Crosbie (UCLA, CA) tells us why the little protein, sarcospan, could solve the big problem of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Peter et al., JCB).The show was written, presented, and produced by Ruth Williams, with additional reporting by Justin Paul.
00:48 - Valproic acid and Alzheimer's; 03:10 - Cdc42 and gut cell orientation; 10:25 - Sarcospan and Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
