People living with #MND #ALS lose their ability to speak - do we ever stop to think of the impact this has? These champs are going ‘48hrs without Words’ to show those living with MND that they are not alone. Researchers are in their corner. Donate today secure.mndandme.com.au/my-fundraising…

Recent work in Brain shows a potential role of #muscle #cholesterol in #ALS - here is a summary in Neurology Today and commentary by myself and Prof Stan Appel. Interesting findings but a long way to go before we know if targeting cholesterol in muscle will be helpful.

Congratulations to the amazing researchers awarded FightMND funding to support much needed research into improving our understanding of #MND. Thank you to every donor that made this possible.

Grateful to be part of some of the teams awarded FightMND funding. Congratulations to Ngo Lab Group, Thomas Shaw, John Lee and the other teams within the MNDatUQ family. Looking forward to seeing the result!!! #MND #ALS

A new project led by Shyuan Ngo 🧠🔬🧫👩🏻‍🍳😻 will use brain samples from ALS mice and people living with ALS, to create detailed gene maps. These maps will help us understand how changes in brain cells happen over time and contribute to the development of the disease.
