Abstract NF2 (neurofibromatosis type 2)–related schwannomatosis (NF2-SWN) is a cancer predisposition syndrome characterized by the development of bilateral vestibular (VS) and spinal schwannomas. While benign, these tumors can cause substantial morbidity, and effective pharmacological treatments remain limited. Here, we demonstrate that genetic ablation of focal adhesion kinase (Fak/Ptk2) impairs tumor formation and preserves hearing in a murine model of NF2.
On June 16, 2025, there was a crash with fatality on I-80 near Mustang. In this case, it was due to a wrong-way driver. But this brings what is on many of our minds to the forefront: The section of I-80 from just west of Wadsworth to Vista Boulevard in Sparks continues to become more congested and more dangerous, with the most dangerous portion being between USA Parkway and Vista Boulevard. It seems to many of us that crashes occur nearly daily.
