A Swedish engineer has created a suit that helps people with Parkinson's disease and stroke get rid of tremors using electrical stimulation.

Excited to enter a week full of new insights and networking at ISSCR 2021!! If you're interested in how to make astrocytes from fibroblast then visit my poster #977 #ISSCR2021

Geared up for a week of #ISSCR2021 make sure to visit ellaquist poster number 977 to see her incredible work on direct conversion to astrocytes

Excited for a week of #Euroglia #glia2021 If you are attending make sure to catch ellaquist talk (S22) and poster (T02-011B) where she will describe our efforts on reprogramming to astrocytes for modeling neurological disorders.

Today is the day!! I'm so happy to been given the opportunity to give a talk at the GLIA 2021 conference and I’m really looking forward to the live discussion this afternoon 🙌 #glia2021 #excitement #astrocytes #diseasemodeling #neuroscience #research #stemcells #brain

Taking some vacation time to improve my neuronal connectivity 🚵‍♀️💫🕸 Day 1 on the bike: 130 km #activevacation #exercise #mallorca #travel #health #neuronalconnectivity #brain

Finally out, “Neural Reprogramming-Methods and Protocols” a book I edited for the Springer series Methods in Molecular Biology link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9… Huge thanks to all contributors who endured a long process with many delays #reprogramming #directconversion #stemcells

I’m happy to share a detailed protocol on how our lab makes induced astrocytes from human pluripotent stem cells and how we set up cocultures with induced neurons 🧫 link.springer.com/protocol/10.10… #astrocytes #neuroscience #protocol #reprogramming #stemcells #research

Excited to share our recent study, now online ⁦StemCellReports⁩ Spearheaded by superstar PhD student ⁦ellaquist⁩ Big thank you to all co-authors and collaborators who helped with this exciting project ⁦ cell.com/stem-cell-repo…

New article from me and Henrik Ahlenius lab on how to convert human fibroblasts to astrocytes!! 🌟🌟🧠Check out my post on linkedin linkedin.com/posts/ella-qui… or access it here right away cell.com/stem-cell-repo… #neuroscience #astrocytes #stemcellresearch Lund Stem Cell Center

Researchers from the Henrik Ahlenius lab Lund Stem Cell Center & Lund University reveal a new way to create human #astrocytes in the lab with their study in StemCellReports 🤯 Find out how our skin cells might be key to better understanding the human #brain 🧠👇 bit.ly/3ygi4xa

Want to make good astrocytes? Read "An Improved Method to Generate Human Induced Astrocytes" from our very own Janelle Drouin-Ouellet . liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.108…

This is our journal's first News and Views to cover the study from ellaquist Henrik Ahlenius et al on direct conversion of fibroblasts: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Job alert! The lab recently received some substantial funding and we will be recruiting two post-docs. We are looking for candidates with experience in cellular reprogramming, viral vectors or gene therapy. More info will follow but if you are interested, get in touch! #postdoc

Had the pleasure of attending the 10 year anniversary of Medicon Village and receiving a donation from Mats Paulsson’s Foundation. Grateful for their support of our research developing next generation of human models of Alzheimer’s disease based on cellular reprogramming

We’re hiring! Two post-doc positions available in my lab ⁦Lund Stem Cell Center⁩ 1. Cellular Reprogramming to model AD 2. Cellular reprogramming for Glioblastoma gene therapy #LundSCC #postdoc #reprogramming stemcellcenter.lu.se/careers

Today PhD student ellaquist nailed her thesis! Old Swedish tradition to make the thesis available to the public. Congratulations, great job! Looking forward to the defense on January 19th!!

Yesterday I finally nailed my PhD thesis "Generation of Human Astrocytes for Disease Modeling - A study based on stem cells, direct conversion and genome engineering to dissect the role of astrocytes in leukodystrophies" ⭐️🧠 #PhD #astrocytes #CRISPR #diseasemodeling Lund Stem Cell Center
