Sad news for patients. This strengthens the need for a better understanding of the fundamental pathology underlying the many variants of motor neuron diseases. The plural there is important, as these are not a single disease, requiring a single treatment MND Scotland MND Association

Great work Dr Hazel Allardyce

What is the role of non-motor neuron pathology in disease initiation and progression? Are we collecting sufficient data from treated patients? What aspects of pathology are not treated by current therapies? SMA-Europe Spinal Muscular Atrophy UK

I'm late but this review by Claire Dessalles in J Cell Science on the mechanobiology of pericytes is excellently written... I knew almost nothing about it this morning. I probably still know very little but after reading it I feel like I'm an expert🤓 journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

Super proud of Parson Lab PhD student Abedallah Hamida for his fabulous presentation on neuronal vulnerability to TDP-43 at the UoAberdeen PGR conference! #ALS #TDP43

So pleased to see Dr Hazel Allardyce graduate her PhD, and so disappointed that I couldn't be there to join in the celebration. Equally pleased tat shen decided to stay on the a poist-doc. Look out for her next paper .... Parson Lab

It’s official…I graduated! 🎓🎉🍾 Thank you so much to everyone who supported me through my PhD. It’s been an incredible experience! Simon H Parson Parson Lab Anatomical Society #PhDone ✅

Parson lab at the EMC academic afternoon yesterday. Just missing Simon H Parson! Thanks to Euan MacDonald Centre for organising a great session of talks. #MND #SMA 🧠🔬

and nice to see a very old lab mate Derek Thomson, on the poster in the middle too :-)

We are pleased to welcome five new members to our Scientific Advisory Panel, including an early career researcher and two lay members. 🧑‍🔬🔬 They'll play a crucial role in peer-reviewing research funding proposals and help to shape our research strategy. mndscotland.org.uk/news/mnd-scotl…

@NEAanatomist great study, always look carefully to ensure the data fits the appearance

A great chance to see how the editorial process works, to be involved and learn how to make papers better

Wonderful opening session at #SMACongress2024 Excited for a week of patient, clinician and researcher collaboration! SMA-Europe Simon H Parson Dr Hazel Allardyce
