Excited to share this excellent article by Teddy Amenabar @TeddyAmen in The Washingotn Post @washingtonpost. It provides a clear & balanced look at our recent discovery of a class of household chemicals that are harmful to the brain's myelinating cells. wapo.st/4dcYUL6

Proud to see work from our lab making its way to patients. I am hopeful that the investigational drug, ION356, being tested by Ionis will be found to be both safe & effective in people with Pelizaeus Merzbacher disease🙏 Link to our 2020 @Nature paper: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Great work by @bllclayton, @TesarLab, & the team. Such an insightful dive into modulation of astrocyte reactivity. @ScienceLemon92 and I were honored to write the @NatureNeuro N&V on this piece - see rdcu.be/dzXrM. (1/2)

Excited to share that my first postdoc publication is officially out! Combining an astrocyte cellular platform and chemical screening we identified drugs that can suppress the formation of pathological astrocytes and promote neuroprotection. thedaily.case.edu/fixing-rog…
