Barton et al. report that oligodendrocytes derived from patient-induced pluripotent stem cells with mutated TARDBP gene show pathogenic protein accumulation and altered α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor expression. bit.ly/36FpbUq Dr. Samantha Barton

The A team! The Florey MND lab at #ANZMNDSym in sunny Brisbane. Great to be back in person discussing science and collaboration to end #MND #ALS !

Today is Global ALS/MND Awareness Day. The 21st June is a solstice, a turning point. A day where the international ALS/MND community comes together to hope that today will indeed be a turning point in the search for treatments & ultimately a cure for MND ☀️#ALSMNDWithoutBorders

We're excited to announce that Big Freeze 8 raised an incredible $19.8 million for FightMND! To everyone who donated, bought a beanie, volunteered or held a fundraiser – thank you! And to those who have been impacted by or are living with MND, you continue to inspire us.

Thrilled to share our manuscript has been published in Metabolites MDPI showing changes to lipid metabolism in the white matter of the motor cortex in MND likely causing changes to myelin composition. Thanks to all involved! mdpi.com/2218-1989/12/6…

Brilliant outcome for #BigFreeze8 and FightMND announced at the The Florey today. “The biggest community-based fundraiser for MND in the world.” Much hope for a cure. Thank you to the wonderful and tireless FightMND army and supporters as we soldier on for new treatments.

Research by Dr Dr. Samantha Barton, A/Prof Brad Turner and our #MotorNeuroneDisease team investigates oligodendrocytes, a cell type potentially contributing to disease progression which could act as a future drug target for #MND. 📖 ow.ly/2Jyf50Ka9yM 🔬 doi.org/10.3390/metabo…

Harnessing innovative and powerful 3D human mini-brains in the dish to study #MS and screen therapeutics. Brilliant talk and epic images by Dr Dr. Samantha Barton from our #MND group The Florey at #MNM2022. Another day of great talks!

.Neale Daniher's quest for a cure for motor neurone disease has just received a $13 million boost. After a record year of fundraising, his FightMND charity has handed grants to the most promising research. youtu.be/gq7sss5iZAI NickMcCallum7 #7NEWS

Come and see me nerd out at Carlton Brewery on Monday 22nd May and tell you all about the wonderful world of stem cells 🤓🤓🤓

Pint of Science AU 2023 kicked off yesterday, an international science festival where researchers talk about their research. Last night at the Carlton Brewhouse we heard about AI, stem cells, and the growing threat of online scams. #PintAU23 #Pint23

Keeping warm this chilly Melbourne winter with our #BigFreeze9 beanies from FightMND. Team MND working tirelessly at The Florey to slay the beast and find effective therapies for #MND #ALS. Loving the return of the snowflakes! ❄️❄️

Had a great time visiting the Walker Neuro Lab at Queensland Brain Institute, UQ talking all things oligodendrocytes in #MND. Thank you for having me Adam Walker!

In the words of Neale Daniher, ‘When all is said and done, more is said than done. It’s not what we say, it’s what we do that matters’. Don’t say, do. Buy your #bigfreeze10 beanies today and help us to continue to fight the beast! 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬🧪🧫 FightMND

Very excited to share our new pre-print using human iPSC-derived organoids containing extensive, mature myelin and functional microglia to model demyelination and oligodendrocyte/myelin regeneration #organoids #MS biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We're fighting for hope and a future without the Beast 💙 A cure is what we're searching for, but we've experienced so many wins along this 10 year journey. Help us keep up the momentum and reach $3M by Monday: give.fightmnd.org.au/4bFkAhU #BigFreeze10 #DontSayDo

In a series of videos that we will release over the course of the year, our talented Fellows give you a snapshot of their innovative research programs. Check out the video below to hear what Dr. Samantha Barton is working on.

Whether you joined the fight during Big Freeze 1 or 10, you've helped us keep investing in the brightest minds in research. Thank you for doing your bit to find a cure 💙 #DontSayDo #BigFreeze10
