Note within the info on this and the @mndresearch blog article linked to within the @mndassoc website link (see tweet below), this stems from work I’ve heard @GHautbergue talk about over trips to @neuroshef #SITraN over time.

C9orf72 is an area his team have been working on.

[MND Association @mndassoc]

Researchers have shown a small molecule, called a peptide, could prevent the death of nerve cells in C9orf72 motor neurone disease (#MND) and frontotemporal dementia (#FTD).

They also hinted the peptide, with further studies, could be developed into a nasal spray.

More below.

[ITV News Calendar @itvcalendar]

Scientists at the University of Sheffield believe they are a step closer to developing a nasal spray to treat motor neurone disease and some forms of dementia. https://t.co/7wqg5BDfMJ

Two podcasts for this event will be from two of our writers: @Sarah_Roscoe_ talking about #MND research and @rachel__ga talking about #Parkinsons disease research. Make sure to check them out! @mndassoc @mndresearch @mndeducation @ParkinsonsUK @neuroshef @SheffieldBRC

@MrHowar51385789 Thank you for all the lovely photos and updates, it looks like they've had a great time.

An innovative gene therapy programme which could pave the way for novel treatments for devastating neurodegenerative diseases like MND + frontotemporal dementia, has been launched @sheffielduni thanks to funding from @mndassoc and @lifearc1

@_d_hoyle @Little_Kersh @sg_campbell @BiochemSoc @GHautbergue @dodoscientist 😂😂 that must have been another group than the one I was with... Although nothing won't with a little honesty

[Lydia Castelli @LydiaCastelli]

@Little_Kersh @_d_hoyle @sg_campbell @BiochemSoc @GHautbergue @dodoscientist You're both booked in then

[Lydia Castelli @LydiaCastelli]

@_d_hoyle @Little_Kersh @sg_campbell @BiochemSoc @GHautbergue @dodoscientist I think both of those can be arranged

[Lydia Castelli @LydiaCastelli]

@Little_Kersh @_d_hoyle @sg_campbell @BiochemSoc @GHautbergue @dodoscientist You could come and speak at the ECR event next year
