A toddler shows no signs of Spinal Muscular Atrophy after being treated in the womb— a first for the motor neuron disease, which causes muscle weakness and loss of movement. A breakthrough showing the power of early diagnosis and treatment! #SMA nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Imagine...What if we could treat diseases like Alzheimer's, PSP, Huntington's or ALS, before birth? Groundbreaking research shows promise for Spinal Muscular Atrophy, with a toddler treated in utero showing no symptoms. Is this the future of medicine? #genetics #futureofmedicine

⁩Most people with ALS lack known mutations, making early detection tough. We built an AI model using data from 47k+ people in 13 countries to spot risk, even without family history. Proud to support this with Alfredo Iacoangeli ⁦⁦Ammar Al-Chalabi⁩ medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Promising research. There are many challenges for PlwMND, The first being early diagnosis. Cutting down the unacceptable wait for detecting disease presence could promote earlier intervention with effective treatments….when they arrive! #mndresearch #diagnosis #crueldisease

The results of the MIROCALS trial are published! Proud to be part of this massive effort. May is ALS Awareness Month, and what a powerful reminder that science works, people with #ALS #MND matter, and breakthroughs are possible. Hoping for approval soon! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
