Excited to share our @CellReports article! We investigated how the loss of TBK1 function contributes to ALS and dementia using human stem cell-derived neurons and advanced proteomics. Many thanks to all co-authors for their great work and collaboration!

In this study, we observed that a C9ORF72-ALS/FTD dipeptide repeat protein perturbs the phosphorylation of RNA binding proteins and STMN2 expression, and found that SRSF7 sustains STMN2 levels in induced neurons. Congrats to @JulieSmeyers and Karen! #ALS

Excited to share new study from the lab, work led by @JohnPAndrews_MD and grateful for all the collaborators who made this possible including @ChangLabUcsf @ucscgenomics
Today in @NatureNeuro, researchers led by @LabNowakowski, @ChangLabUcsf & Mircea Teodorescu (@ucscgenomics) demonstrate the first use of optogenetics to modulate seizure activity at the network level in human brain tissue:

Out @ScienceMagazine! New tech to activate ALS gene therapies only in the right cells at the right time - Increased safety to have more options for ALS.
We do it by taking advantage of cryptic splicing.

The Target ALS #DataEngine just got bigger!

We’ve expanded datasets across all core collections, added a user manual, and released new demo videos. Now it’s easier than ever to explore and utilize rich data for #ALSResearch.

Check out the data that goes along with our new manuscript & conduct an exciting secondary analysis of your own! @RCFNeuro @alzdemjournals
New data from the @YokoyamaLabUCSF and @UCSFmac is now available on AD Workbench. Researchers can use this dataset to identify novel disease associations, cell-specific impacts, and therapeutic targets for Alzheimer’s.
