Exciting discovery: CSF flow isn't confined to the brain and spinal cord—it also extends to peripheral nerves! @ScienceMagazine science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…
Groundbreaking research from @UFHealth @UF

Thank you @ASGCTherapy for inviting me to your brilliant meeting. I hope my talk was up to scratch @UCL_IfWH @ProfAhadRahim @DrGiuliaMassaro @Dr_RKarda @RJYanezMunoz @DrJo_Ng
Great talk by @DrJo_Ng at @AdTherapiesConf!! (And amazing DA pathway by @ProfSimonWad!) @RebecaGilG @effemerus @konstantina_tet @Dr_RickPrivo

🚨New paper alert! A KO model of #DravetSydrome shows significant pathology in the #spinalcord 👇
Check out our new paper on pre-print bioRxiv, "Spinal cord pathology in a Dravet Syndrome mouse model"; biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @jantinaod @drelliechilcott @AnnaKeeganUCL @s_schorge @ProfSimonWad @DravetUK @curedravet @GOSHCharity @lifearc1 @UCL_IfWH

Why bother with finding genetic causes of cerebral palsy? In 1,841 individuals in published CP cohorts, 8% had a genetic diagnosis classified as actionable --> as prompting a change in clinical management based on knowledge related to the genetic etiology

Also in AAV land, 1st pres on an IgM cleaving enzyme to enable AAV re-dosing [210]. Work on IgG degraders previously received a lot attention; Asokan lab show the disc. of an IgM degrader & feasibility of combining the two for more robust amelioration of anti-AAV immunity (17/26)

Preparing slides for #genetherapy at Swiss Society of Medical Genetics. I use Adobe Animate/Flash🤯. Could be worse (Powerpoint). Asked #chatgpt to write code to squiggle ellipses. Took way too long but it worked @SonjaSucic @DrJo_Ng @HesterChu @danielintheory @JIMD_Editors

Good luck to all the PhD students this week, where all their family try to understand what they do and ask when they will be done.
