Take a moment to read our new findings on how endothelial cells forming the blood brain barrier can affect motor neurons in #mnd#als @AnaAragonG @neuroshef @ENeurotrophin https://t.co/6YPqKbXQTe
#BenevolentNews: Pleased to announce that we have progressed BEN-34712 into IND-enabling studies.
BEN-34712 is an oral, potent and selective brain penetrant RARɑ𝛃-biased agonist being developed for the potential treatment of #ALS.

Our embryoid bodies that we use for our cocultures are looking especially bright and green today! We should get beautiful motor neurons from these, which we will use to test different drugs to see if they can prevent the motor neurons from degenerating. #Cellfie#MND#MNDresearch
Some beautiful cells to brighten up your Saturday! Here we have some neuronal progenitor cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells, stained for Pax6 and Nestin (NPC markers).
Fantastic first talk delivered by @LauraFerraiuolo about modelling MNS in astrocytes. Very cleaver fast track differentiation from fibroblasts to cells of interests 💨🧫
We have fantastic external speakers including @LauraFerraiuolo, John Greenman and Michele Zagnoni. We will also have our internal disease models experts speaking including @Basudha_Basu, Elizabeth Roundhill and @SalPeyman 🤩🤩🤩
30 years ago today the first cause of #ALS#MND was found by Prof Robert H Brown Jr and his team. Now we have a genetic therapy, Tofersen, that looks to have a dramatic effect in the 2% carrying this gene variant. A small step that shows ALS can be defeated with the right tools.
Honoured to be part of this study that furthers our understanding and gets us closer to potential treatments for #MND A cell-penetrant peptide blocking C9ORF72-repeat RNA nuclear export reduces the neurotoxic effects of dipeptide repeat proteins https://t.co/NDpplA6M8s
@MNDoddie5@burrow_geoff . Could you please follow and retweet. We are attempting a world record to raise funds and awareness of MND. https://t.co/AOCQ4nzlpr
Happy to share an online entry about "Components of the Blood–Brain Barrier", adapted from our recent review article https://t.co/pgWpG4kPmA ,
