Dr. Lars Schlotawa has moved mountains in pursuit of therapies for MSD. We have been blessed in finding such a wonderful doctor and scientist and soon to be Professor. #TreatCureMSD

A brilliant visual abstract of a new publication on biomarkers for Multiple Sulfatase Deficiency. Their reproducibility & our confidence that this informs us on the worst affected biomarkers to look at gives me great confidence that they will help clinical trials #TreatCureMSD

We are very proud to announce that researchers have developed a valuable new induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) model of MSD. MSD Action Foundation supported this work with grants to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. tinyurl.com/MSDiPSC Rebecca Ahrens-Nicklas Vi Pham 1/4

These human cells can be converted into the key cell types that are affected in patients with MSD. For the first time the team identified that iPSC-derived neurons show more hallmarks of MSD, including lysosomal stress, GAG accumulation & reduced enzyme activity, 2/4

compared to undifferentiated cells. This suggests neurons are more sensitive to MSD-induced stress than other cell types. MSD neurons showed defects in early development & differentiation. This provides insights into why patients with MSD have such severe neurologic disease.3/4

A huge thank you to the prinicipal investigators Rebecca Ahrens-Nicklas & Beverly Davidson & all of the authors for your very important work. A special mention to Vi Pham for your hard work on this project & to the director of the pluripotent stem cell core Deborah French at CHOP

Here is a link to the publication which its really important as it can, will & is leading to further MSD research that needs to be done in order to move towards therapies. tinyurl.com/MSDiPSC

Great to see results in San Diego from another MSD Action Foundation funded project. If I take off my MSD parent hat & I put on my scientific hat, the future of MSD research is very exciting!

Thank you Xinying Hong from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute for presenting your excellent poster at #WORLDSymposium, in San Diego. Your superb biomarker research will make an impact for MSD patients & related MPS conditions #TreatCureMSD
