Abstract

Russo and DiAntonio identify a dysregulated MAPK signaling pathway in the fly model of fragile X syndrome. MAP3K Wnd/DLK drives dFmr1 mutant phenotypes, and pharmacological inhibition of Wnd/DLK prevents neural dysfunction in this model, thus highlighting a possible role for Wnd/DLK in the pathophysiology of fragile X syndrome.
