Developing the next generation of researchers is vital in the fight against #MND #ALS. 👨🔬 They may hold the cure in their hands, but they just don’t know it yet. Next week we are holding #MNDEnCouRageUK to encourage, train and support the future MND research leaders. Watch…
Help shape MND/ALS research! 🧠 LifeArc’s new survey focuses on tech to improve daily life with MND. Last time, @lifearc1 received 200 responses—thank you! 🙏 📢 If you have MND/ALS, care for someone, or are at risk, your input is crucial. @lifearc1
What technology could help improve daily life for those living with #MND? We'd like to better understand the daily challenges to guide the development of new technologies and inform our future research and investment. Share your thoughts in our survey: t.ly/hQTI_
🪣 The Ice Bucket Challenge was a giant leap forward for understanding ALS/MND. To mark the 10th anniversary of the challenge, we've created a special video. Thank you to @biogen for supporting this video.🙏 youtu.be/P4uBp-POT1o?si… #EveryAugustUntilCure #ALSMNDWithoutBorders

The next chapter of the story from the UNC13A cryptic exon discoveries in Nature 2022. Easily the most scientifically interesting therapeutic target we have right now.
We find TDP-43 loss to cause presynaptic defects, which are rescued by ASOs correcting a single cryptic exon in UNC13A. Surprising effect of just one cryptic exon and promising strategy for ALS! Matt Keuss @PeteHarley95 in great collaboration with @jbneuro biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
