Our study led by @CongxinSun & @ESeranova with @VIKorolchuk, funded by @wellcometrust & @lifearc1, on loss of #autophagy depleting #NAD to cause cell death of human neurons, having implications for #ageing and #neurodegeneration, is out now in @CellReports

Wonderful to participate at the Smart Ageing Summit organized by @OxLongevity at @UniofOxford.
Dr. @SarkarSovan is talking to us about how autophagy, a vital cell survival process that removes and recycles cellular trash, promotes survival of brain cells and what that means for the ageing brain! #longevity #healthyaging #smartaging #Summit #oxfordlongevityproject

Looking forward to working with @RichardTuxworth along with @SamNayler on the @ActionforAT grant related to targeting autophagy in #RareDisease ataxia-telangiectasia using fly and iPSC-derived neuronal and cerebral organoid models at @IcgsUob.
We are very grateful to @ActionforAT for funding our project looking to repurpose autophagy-enhancing drugs to treat ataxia-telangiectasia. We have a great team using a combination of iPSC neurons, flies and organoids @IcgsUob @SarkarSovan @SamNayler @QIMRB_Institute.
