This is a BIG moment for pluripotent stem cell-derived cell therapy for neurodegenerative disease. Congrats Lorenz and BlueRock Therapeutics on this important milestone!

The legend among legends! Michael Knight

Very happy to share our review on ALS and iPSC models of neurodegeneration in Cell Stem Cell in collaboration with amazing co-author Elisa Giacomelli and other great colleagues from the Lorenz lab and the Talbot lab. authors.elsevier.com/c/1eNDa6tu0CeT…

After two years, a pandemic, and a job change, I'm thrilled to share one of the key publications from my PhD which has been published today 🥳so strap in for Functional characterization of the schizophrenia associated gene AS3MT doi.org/10.1002/ajmg.b… 1/n

Congratulations to @WilliamSiwJames and his lab, part of Team Nanobodies that was recognised by a Royal Society of Chemistry prize this year🥳 The James lab is part of an ongoing Wellcome programme to evaluate nanobodies against a range of emerging viruses.

Thrilled to share our latest preprint on iPSC microglia differentiation. If you have been using the Haenseler et al 2017 protocol then you'll want to check out this update from the Cowley lab biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n

An MRC PhD funded position is available in my lab and Kordasti_lab. Application Deadline Nov 9th. You will work in an emerging field and join a vibrant and multidisciplinary research environmet and collaborate with labs across Europe. kcl-mrcdtp.com/project/elucid…

So many animal studies talk about "high fat" diets causing #obesity. Finally, these researchers get it! There's a difference between an "obesogenic" diet and a "ketogenic" diet, even though both are high in fat. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

They say some media contain redundant “legacy” factors. So Drs. Dr Sam Washer, @WilliamSiwJames, Sally Cowley, and team, set out to systematically identify the key defined factors required for #iPSC-#microglia differentiation.

Go and check Javier Gilbert-Jaramillo 's published paper on Zika-virus and how it could influence in neurodevelopment during early pregnancy. doi.org/10.1242/bio.05… Such a pleasure hosting scientists like Javier in our facility. #flowcytometry #science #scientificresearch

Thanks to the team at the The Don Mason Facility of Flow Cytometry for the support to complete this research using state-of-the-art Amnis #ImageStream Luminex

Neocortical Neurogenesis in Development and Evolution edited by WIELAND B. HUTTNER is out doi.org/10.1002/978111…. Superb resource to learn about cortical progenitors; lineages; specification; migration; patterning; cortical regionalisation; folding; disorders; evolution.

Delighted to share our paper Nature Communications. We show that C9orf72-#ALS iPSC microglia are pro-inflammatory and toxic to co-cultured motor neurons via MMP9. Special thanks to all the amazing people from Oxford MND Research who contributed!

Brain energy metabolism has implications in health and disease. Herein, we showed preliminary data on how manipulating glucose metabolism may be therapeutic against ZIKV fetal infection. Thanks to all the coauthors! authors.elsevier.com/a/1jE3nbqnSRR6I

Excited to share research led by Jakub, on use of induced pluripotent stem cells to study selective vulnerability in C9orf72-ALS. Our study of motor & sensory neurons highlights the iPSC model's utility for understanding cell type selectivity. #ALS #iPSC cell.com/stem-cell-repo…
