So cool to see our recent paper on environmental chemicals affecting brain health on the cover of Nature Neuroscience! Congrats again to @ErinFCohn and the team. Special thanks to Ella Maru Studio @Ella_Maru for the artwork
Excited to share this excellent article by Teddy Amenabar @TeddyAmen in The Washingotn Post @washingtonpost. It provides a clear & balanced look at our recent discovery of a class of household chemicals that are harmful to the brain's myelinating cells.

Proud to see work from our lab making its way to patients. I am hopeful that the investigational drug, ION356, being tested by Ionis will be found to be both safe & effective in people with Pelizaeus Merzbacher disease🙏

Common household chemicals pose a risk to the brain’s myelinating cells
Thrilled to share groundbreaking findings from our latest study led by @ErinFCohn at @CWRUSOM's Institute for Glial Sciences, in collaboration with the U.S. @EPA.

I am also grateful to our supporters, including the @NIH_NINDS, @mssociety, @HHMINEWS, @nyscf, sTF5 Care, and the Long, Walter, Peterson, Goodman, and Geller families.
Great work by @bllclayton, @TesarLab, & the team. Such an insightful dive into modulation of astrocyte reactivity.
@ScienceLemon92 and I were honored to write the @NatureNeuro N&V on this piece - see https://t.co/v9Mo4dDGFF.
