Great talk from Björn Vahsen at ARUK Thames Valley Network this afternoon on the pro-inflammatory role of C9orf72 microglia in ALS.

#TuesdayReads Check out the Talbot Group's latest publication on #ALS! They explore how iPSC-derived microglia reveal the role of non-neuronal cells in ALS pathogenesis, highlighting new therapeutic targets.👇 doi.org/10.1002/bies.2… Björn Vahsen Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences Medical Sciences

🧠Over the past 3 days at #iMND2024, scientists shared major breakthroughs in iPSC models for #ALS, spinal muscular atrophy, and more. From 3D models to novel therapies, the event showcased exciting strides in #StemCellResearch. #MND 👏A big thank you to everyone who joined!

It was a great pleasure presenting our work on C9orf72-#ALS microglia-motor neuron co-cultures at #iMND2024! Thank you to the organisers @VIBConferences VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research for a fantastic meeting. Oxford MND Research

#MeetTheResearcher This week, we’re excited to introduce Björn Vahsen (Björn Vahsen) from Kevin Talbot's lab. Björn is a postdoctoral scientist studying the role of microglia in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis using iPSC models.

We are excited to be here in Montreal for MND Research #alsmndsymp! We would be delighted to see you at our posters - see below for our presenters and poster numbers #MND #ALS

We also have several group members giving platform talks as well as a plenary lecture! We would be delighted to see you there - see below for our presenters and talks #MND #ALS MND Research #alsmndsymp

We’ve just heard from MND Association funded researcher Dr Bjorn Vahsen at Oxford MND Research about the role of brain immune cells called microglia in #MND #ALS. He’s been looking at how communication between motor neurons and microglia changes in cell models of MND which have a change in the

Come and join us! Research assistant position open at Oxford MND Research Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, working on collecting neuroimaging data in #ALS and #FTD. Previous research experience with humans is essential. This post would suit a #Psychology or #Neuroscience graduate. See link below for info.
