Professor Corinne Houart and Dr Richard Taylor (part of @UKDRI at King's) received a new £500k+ grant from @AlzResearchUK to study how RNA-binding proteins, which are disrupted in #dementia, might be important for protecting against degeneration.

Our review discussing the diversity of RNA types that localise to different parts of the neuronal periphery and the local regulation they undergo has just been published! 😃😃 @nikolas_neuro

Our new findings 👀 Combining zebrafish and human iPSC models of FOXG1 Syndrome we uncover a role for FOXG1 in the cytoplasm, where it controls mitochondrial translation, integrating cell fate decisions and regulation of metabolic activity. @CorinneHouart @HouartLab

[Richard Taylor @RNA_Richard]

Our protocol for performing primary culture of zebrafish neurons has been published.
It includes details on using transwell inserts, allowing for the isolation of neurites 😃 @CorinneHouart @HouartLab

Prematurely terminated intron-retaining mRNAs invade axons in SFPQ null-driven neurodegeneration and are a hallmark of ALS https://t.co/by7PnFpRs1

Interesting new hypothesis for motor degeneration in ALS "These new findings not only challenge the dogma that prematurely terminated mRNAs are targeted for degradation but offer novel insights into the mechanisms underlying ALS and possibly other neurodegenerative conditions."

[Nikolas Nikolaou @nikolas_neuro]

Congratulations @RNA_Richard & @FurshamH. Excellent work.

Honoured to be a part of this amazing study. Congrats @RNA_Richard!

[Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience @KingsIoPPN]

New research reveals a new hallmark for #ALS, shedding light on a likely trigger of neurodegeneration.

Researchers found that loss of the RNA processing protein, SFPQ, in motor neurons results in their ‘dying back’ .
