Abstract excerpt

The role of the conserved focal adhesion kinase (FAK) family of protein tyrosine kinases in the development and physiological functions of the CNS has long been an area of interest among neuroscientists. In this report, we observe that Drosophila mutants lacking Fak56 exhibit a decreased lifespan, accompanied by a bang-sensitive phenotype, which is characterized by sensitivity to mechanical and high-frequency...
