Neurons sequester the cholesterol-inhibiting TFEB in oligodendrocyte cytoplasm to safeguard myelination and neural function dlvr.it/TN1B6G

Neurons sequester the cholesterol-inhibiting TFEB in oligodendrocyte cytoplasm to safeguard...

Zhang et al. identify TFEB as a molecular link that connects extrinsic neuronal cues to intrinsic oligodendrocyte transcriptional programs. TFEB directly binds to and represses numerous cholesterol...

Be curious. Pay attention. You may not be able to impress with knowledge and experience but you can impress with enthusiasm and attention. Mentors are paying attention to this. Most important: discover or confirm your passions for science.

Many undergraduate students are about to begin their summer research experience, and for many, this will be their first time. What tips would you offer to help them get the most out of their experience?
