Great to have our very own Dr Monika A Myszczynska attend and present at the #morethanneurons meeting in Turin Neuroscience Institute MND Research

Happy New Year from all of us at Ferraiuolo lab! Here's to a great 2023. If one of your New Year's resolutions is to keep abreast of our work, our website is a great place to start. theferraiuololab.com/publications/

Happy to share an online entry about "Components of the Blood–Brain Barrier", adapted from our recent review article doi.org/10.3390/ijms23… , at the free and open platform for researchers Encyclopedia MDPI encyclopedia.pub/entry/40721 🧠Go have a look! The Ferraiuolo Lab #OpenScience

We have fantastic external speakers including Laura, John Greenman and Michele Zagnoni. We will also have our internal disease models experts speaking including Basudha Basu, Ph.D., Elizabeth Roundhill and Sally A. Peyman 🤩🤩🤩

Well done All! Great job Raquel R. Martins

Honoured to be part of this study that furthers our understanding and gets us closer to potential treatments for #MND A cell-penetrant peptide blocking C9ORF72-repeat RNA nuclear export reduces the neurotoxic effects of dipeptide repeat proteins science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

30 years ago today the first cause of #ALS #MND was found by Prof Robert H Brown Jr and his team. Now we have a genetic therapy, Tofersen, that looks to have a dramatic effect in the 2% carrying this gene variant. A small step that shows ALS can be defeated with the right tools.

Fantastic first talk delivered by Laura about modelling MNS in astrocytes. Very cleaver fast track differentiation from fibroblasts to cells of interests 💨🧫

Some beautiful cells to brighten up your Saturday! Here we have some neuronal progenitor cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells, stained for Pax6 and Nestin (NPC markers).

For those who need to see Motor Neuron today. Happy Friday. #neuroscience #stemcells Neuroscience Institute

Our embryoid bodies that we use for our cocultures are looking especially bright and green today! We should get beautiful motor neurons from these, which we will use to test different drugs to see if they can prevent the motor neurons from degenerating. #Cellfie #MND #MNDresearch

Very interesting talk from Dr Monika A Myszczynska #Pint23

Thank you Pint of Science UK for hosting a great event! A great evening presenting our work with Dr Martyna Matuszyk Marianne King and Tania! As always the support from The Ferraiuolo Lab is amazing so proud to be a part of this team! ❤️ #PintOfScience #research #MND

For those who needs to see some Striatal Medium Spiny Neurons in this beautiful sunny day. Have a good weekend everyone. #StemCell #neuroscience

#BenevolentNews: Pleased to announce that we have progressed BEN-34712 into IND-enabling studies. BEN-34712 is an oral, potent and selective brain penetrant RARɑ𝛃-biased agonist being developed for the potential treatment of #ALS. Read more → benevolent.com/news-and-media…

Supporting studies that progress to this point and beyond is why I dedicated my life to neuroscience and #MND #ALS research. So proud to have worked on this with Richard Mead The Ferraiuolo Lab BenevolentAI Neuroscience Institute
