Rare diseases like ataxia need international collaborations to accelerate viable treatments. CRU co-director and leading #ataxia researcher Massimo Pandolfo chaired the scientific committee for #ICAR2024, which brought together 600 internationl researchers with this goal in mind.

A trial at The Neuro will validate whether medication for overactive bladder can help repair the neuromuscular junction in #ALS. Preclinical research by Richard Robitaille at @UMontrealwhich showed promise, improving mobility and strength in mouse models. bit.ly/3DWhJFg

Abstract submission is open until April 10! We already have close to 50 abstracts, 10-15 of which will be selected for talks, and the rest will be presented as posters. ALL GBA1.
