Supporting studies that progress to this point and beyond is why I dedicated my life to neuroscience and #MND #ALS research. So proud to have worked on this with @Richard_Mead @FerraiuoloLab @benevolent_ai @neuroshef

Our embryoid bodies that we use for our cocultures are looking especially bright and green today! We should get beautiful motor neurons from these, which we will use to test different drugs to see if they can prevent the motor neurons from degenerating. #Cellfie #MND #MNDresearch

Some beautiful cells to brighten up your Saturday! Here we have some neuronal progenitor cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells, stained for Pax6 and Nestin (NPC markers).

Fantastic first talk delivered by @LauraFerraiuolo about modelling MNS in astrocytes. Very cleaver fast track differentiation from fibroblasts to cells of interests 💨🧫

30 years ago today the first cause of #ALS #MND was found by Prof Robert H Brown Jr and his team. Now we have a genetic therapy, Tofersen, that looks to have a dramatic effect in the 2% carrying this gene variant. A small step that shows ALS can be defeated with the right tools.

Honoured to be part of this study that furthers our understanding and gets us closer to potential treatments for #MND A cell-penetrant peptide blocking C9ORF72-repeat RNA nuclear export reduces the neurotoxic effects of dipeptide repeat proteins science.org/doi/10.1126/scit…

Great to have our very own @AstroMysz attend and present at the #morethanneurons meeting in Turin @neuroshef @mndresearch
15 Dec 2022
Greetings from Turin and the opening lecture of the 3rd edition of More Than Neurons meeting. Looking forward to all the interesting talks on non-neuronal cells.
