Help shape MND/ALS research! 🧠LifeArc’s new survey focuses on tech to improve daily life with MND. Last time, @lifearc1 received 200 responses—thank you! 🙏
📢 If you have MND/ALS, care for someone, or are at risk, your input is crucial. @lifearc1
What technology could help improve daily life for those living with #MND?
We'd like to better understand the daily challenges to guide the development of new technologies and inform our future research and investment.
Share your thoughts in our survey: t.ly/hQTI_

🪣 The Ice Bucket Challenge was a giant leap forward for understanding ALS/MND. To mark the 10th anniversary of the challenge, we've created a special video. Thank you to @biogen for supporting this video.🙏 youtu.be/P4uBp-POT1o?si=fngP…

Celebrate the 10th anniversary of the #ALSIceBucketChallenge and take the plunge with ALS Canada! 🧊🎉
Ten years ago today, Aug. 6, to Dec. 31, 2014, over 260k Canadians took part in the Ice Bucket Challenge, raising awareness and $17.2 million for #ALS. Take on the challenge again and tag ALS Canada - or donate today and invest in Canadian ALS research and support Canadians living with ALS: bit.ly/4dmdpM1.

Possibly a hot take but can we now officially stop funding & presenting work on poly-GA, GP, GR toxicity, at least in the absence of anti-sense strand DPRs?

“It’s easy to go and sit in the lab, and get good at science, but unless you can communicate that science there’s no point having done it.”
#MNDEnCouRageUK aims to give #MND #ALS early career researchers the skills to communicate their research to the people it matters most – people affected by the disease.

Developing the next generation of researchers is vital in the fight against #MND #ALS. 👨‍🔬
They may hold the cure in their hands, but they just don’t know it yet.
Next week we are holding #MNDEnCouRageUK to encourage, train and support the future MND research leaders.
Watch below to hear what delegates thought of last year's event! ⬇️

The next chapter of the story from the UNC13A cryptic exon discoveries in Nature 2022. Easily the most scientifically interesting therapeutic target we have right now.
24 Jun 2024
We find TDP-43 loss to cause presynaptic defects, which are rescued by ASOs correcting a single cryptic exon in UNC13A.
Surprising effect of just one cryptic exon and promising strategy for ALS!
Matt Keuss @PeteHarley95 in great collaboration with @jbneuro
