Spinal motor neurons in dazzling detail. ✨
Each green dot is a spinal motor neuron - crucial but rare cells making up just 1% of neurons in the spinal cord. In diseases like ALS, they are selectively damaged, making them of special interest to neuroscientists. #SciShots
"Seeing how immunotherapy is shaping glioblastoma care at ASCO is letting us know we're on the right path and hopefully making big strides this year at @UF," said UF Health Cancer Institute member Ashley Ghiaseddin, M.D. At #ASCO26, he highlights the encouraging work being done in central nervous system tumors.
Symposium speaker spotlight: Dr. Alicia Vose (@UF Jacksonville) on redefining TBI rehab. Persistent symptoms need coordinated, interdisciplinary care. She introduced the VICTORY-RCT, a multicenter trial testing a 3-week intensive model for veterans and first responders.
Keynote spotlight: Dr. Linda Papa (@OrlandoHealth / @UCF) opened our Florida Brain Injury Research Symposium with "Blood-based TBI Biomarkers: Bench to Bedside" -- her 20 years of research on GFAP & UCH-L1 led to the first FDA-approved blood test for TBI. Thank you, Dr. Papa!
