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

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

Great to have our very own @AstroMysz attend and present at the #morethanneurons meeting in Turin @neuroshef @mndresearch.
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.
