Incredible to meet in person after having met virtually during the pandemic to organise the inaugural NMJ research conference 2021! 🥳

Finally got to hang out with @ines_boehm in person last week in Guarda! We were at an unforgettable NMJ-focused meeting. It was awesome to finally match faces to names and meet the people whose work I’ve been learning from throughout my PhD!

One day, at the #LichtmanLab, as I mapped the connections between neurons and #myofibers, I found a muscle fiber with 2 #endplates. This discovery was very exciting because it gave rise to new questions but also opened a door with new possibilities of analysis to answer them.

Replying to @_Pauline_Duc_
@_Pauline_Duc_ (@rage_florence lab) is giving insight on how they constructed human neuromuscular junctions on microfluidic chambers which were coupled with custom Micro Electrode Arrays (MEA).

Teresa De Cicco from Tomasz PrĂłszynskĂ­'s lab gave the last talk of the Development and Ageing session today explaining the role of Cap2 in the organisation of NMJ morphology. Cap2-mutant mice show disorganised nerve terminals and more fragmented NMJs. đź‘Ź

Dr. Sandra Fuertes-Alvarez from Dr Ander Izeta's lab is giving a fantastic talk on characterisation of novel markers for terminal Schwann cells and Kranocytes to help characterise the microenvironment surrounding the NMJ, as well as study of its vascularisation.

Dr. Daniel Ham (@RueggLab) as our keynote of the development and ageing session is explaining how mTORC1, normally involved in muscle growth and health, plays an important role in sarcopenia as high mTORC1 activity has shown to destabilise NMJs through denervation.

Francisca Bermedo-GarcĂ­a (@JP_Henriquez_H lab) gave beautiful insight into 2 models: regenerative (via nerve-crush) and degenerative (via nerve-cut), suggesting that synaptic transmission is conserved during regenerative models, but lost in degenerative models.

Aoife Reilly (@KotharyLab) did a fantastic job presenting her work where peripherally restricted SMN gene replacement therapy demonstrates potential mechanisms of muscle-intrinsic neurofilament accumulation, also stressing the importance of considering systemic SMA pathology.

Sandra Harjuhaahto from the Tyynismaa lab gave an excellent talk on the use of several models (patient-specific iPSC-derived co-cultures of motor neurons and myotubes, and mouse models) in evaluation of disease pathology of Spinal muscular atrophy Jokela type (SMAJ).
