    Adverse impact of female reproductive signaling on age-dependent neurodegeneration after mild head trauma in Drosophila

    Changtian Ye, Ryan Ho ... James Q Zheng
    A head concussion model in fruit flies reveals that early-life exposure to mild concussions significantly increases the risk of late-life neurodegeneration, with females especially vulnerable due to reproductive factors.
