📢NW Network members... Our ARUK North West Network Science Day is happening on Friday 5 September at The Dalton Building at @ManchesterMet Want to be considered to give a talk? email: [email protected] Register now: shorturl.at/b4csY
Becoming tradition to start #ARUKconf25 in bits after an incredibly moving supporter talk. Blown away by Jordan Adams & his brother's bravery & commitment to curing FTD. Thanks so much Jordon for sharing your story! #ForACure

This should be a great day 👇🏼

Top Trumps - but make it science 🤓 I had the most fun designing these, and I've written about how you could use it in your outreach programme! I'm keen to spread the word to any educators/academics who might be interested - please share 🤗 @NC3Rs thenode.biologists.com/biological-res…
Finally got with the programme and made a Bluesky account. Same handle @DrSarahRyan, find me if you're on there and I've not found you first! bsky.app/profile/drsara…
I’ve signed this, please can everyone else do so as well (who are eligible). The SOD1 treatment has had the green light from the USA and EU regulators, but the UK authorities are likely to say no, by taking the wrong option. This petition is to ask them to do the right thing.
NICE has made the decision to treat tofersen, a specialised genetic therapy for a small subset of people with #ALS #MND developed in the UK, as a general therapy, condemning it to fail their assessment. We must change that decision. Sign the petition: ecampaigns.mndassociation.org/page/151379/pe…

Rivers-Auty et al., find that C9orf72 dipeptides cause neuroinflammation in frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and highlight the inflammasome as a therapeutic target. Please read the full paper at: edin.ac/3XMzmyV @DrSarahRyan
Great day packed with interesting talks at the @ARUK_Manc network science day today. Every speaker was fantastic! Special thanks to our guest speakers Wendy Noble & @AxL_Montagne for excellent key note talks, and to @ComorbidCath for doing the bulk of organising.
Super exciting (and heavy) delivery this morning! All 100 packs of my Biological Research Top Trumps! If you would like some packs for your lab's public engagement activities, please get in touch! (Also extremely fun for grown up scientists) Funded by the @NC3Rs
NEW PAPER: nature.com/articles/s4146… Summary: We delve into the nuclear role of pro-IL-1α, using proximity labelling to identify several proteins that may interact with pro-IL-1α in the nucleus, including HATs, and find many species that have lost IL-1α nuclear localisation
A great primary supervisor and environment with Prof Wendy Noble and opportunities for collaborations with myself and @majimsa in London 👩🔬👨🔬🥼🧪🔬 #synuclein #lewybodydementia Apply now!
