🚨 New paper from our lab @CardosoLab
We review how voltage-gated ion channels drive neuronal dysfunction in motor neuron disease—and why targeting channel gating may unlock new therapeutic strategies.
A must-read for neurodegeneration & ion channel biology 👇

🕷️The @CardosoLab recently published two intersting studies on spider-venom peptides targeting Nav channels, Open Access @Toxins_MDPI and Biochemical Pharmacology. Our findings support the hypothesis that Nav-targeting pharmacophores represent an evolutionarily ancient molecular feature of spider venoms @IMBatUQ @UQ_News

I am pleased to share this fantastic collaborative effort by @CardosoLab @CNZdenek @insect_venomics investigating venom evolution in Reduvvidae smarting out neofunctionalization of toxins from cytolytic and pain-inducing to pain-free anticoagulant activity.

Our lab's latest research is out in ToxiconX. We've pioneered a cutting-edge High-content fluorescence bioassay that accurately discerns between pore formation, ion channel modulation, and cell membrane lysis induced by venom components.

Could venoms one day be used to treat neurodegeneration?

In a recent interview, we asked @DrFeCardoso about @CardosoLab's latest research, their involvement in #MotorNeuronDiseases, and the future of this work.

By wirelessly recording signals from deep-brain stimulators in patients with Parkinson's disease in an outpatient setting, Soh et al. show that the STN – known for its role in motor control – also exerts control over non-motoric, attentional processes. https://t.co/kfDhh86sQi

Will we witness an AlphaFold moment for functional protein engineering and design? Will we solve the protein design problem — that is, the ability to create tailor-made functional proteins on demand — once and for all? https://t.co/4jEsOrsMDk
