Incredible to meet in person after having met virtually during the pandemic to organise the inaugural NMJ research conference 2021! 🥳

📣Call for abstracts for Neuromuscular Translational Research Conference 2022 ucl.ac.uk/centre-for-neu… Deadline 10th Jan 2022
Four enterprising postgrads & postdocs (@ines_boehm, @lauren_the_fish, @Abrar_103 @Abdulla45778122) organised a virtual conference last month! They brought together 132 ECRs worldwide to discuss the neuromuscular junction #NMJ in #MND. 👏 👏 euanmacdonaldcentre.org/about/news/neu… @ECRCMVM
En la reciente @NMJConference 2021 —que reunió a investigadores dedicados a la sinapsis muscular— Francisca Bermedo fue galardonada con el premio de la audiencia, mientras que Diego Zelada fue premiado por el comité organizador y un jurado externo.🥇🥇 cienciasbiologicasudec.cl/estudiantes-de…
One day, at the #LichtmanLab, as I mapped the connections between neurons and #myofibers, I found a muscle fiber with 2 #endplates. This discovery was very exciting because it gave rise to new questions but also opened a door with new possibilities of analysis to answer them.
great talk to close a wonderful meeting! congrats to the organizers, and we are very grateful of the opportunity to share our work at the NMJ. really looking forward for future versions in the near future!

Great closing talk by @J_N_Slayer diving into the history of NMJ research and discussing methodological advancements in analysis of NMJ morphology, including their fantastic approach to analyse axonal transport.

The last talk of the Animal/in vitro models of the NMJ & comparative studies session was held by @stephenhollan11 from the @LochmullerLab presenting their work on the development and characterisation of GFPT1-deficient models to allow modelling of congenital myasthenic syndrome.
Andrea Salzinger (@bhuvaneish lab) gave a beautiful talk on their human iPSC derived organoid model to study NMJs in ALS. 👏
Fascinating talk by @ofvila presenting bioengineered optogenetic models of human iPSC derived material, showing the ability to model effects on NMJ function of for example myasthenia gravis.

Teresa De Cicco from Tomasz Prószynskí's lab gave the last talk of the Development and Ageing session today explaining the role of Cap2 in the organisation of NMJ morphology. Cap2-mutant mice show disorganised nerve terminals and more fragmented NMJs. 👏
I’m really excited to give my first external talk! Early days in my PhD but I’m happy to share my recent advancements on my project! Big day tomorrow!! #NMJRC2021 #LetsGo

🔔🔔We have a post-conference social planned🔔🔔 📅 7th Oct, 17:30 BST (tomorrow) 📌 NMJ-themed virtual Escape Room Bring along snacks, drinks and your colleagues and meet your fellow NMJ-researchers. Register your interest to participate here: forms.office.com/r/ZYJfK2b7PZ
Dr. Sandra Fuertes-Alvarez from Dr Ander Izeta's lab is giving a fantastic talk on characterisation of novel markers for terminal Schwann cells and Kranocytes to help characterise the microenvironment surrounding the NMJ, as well as study of its vascularisation.
Dr. Daniel Ham (@RueggLab) as our keynote of the development and ageing session is explaining how mTORC1, normally involved in muscle growth and health, plays an important role in sarcopenia as high mTORC1 activity has shown to destabilise NMJs through denervation.

Francisca Bermedo-García (@JP_Henriquez_H lab) gave beautiful insight into 2 models: regenerative (via nerve-crush) and degenerative (via nerve-cut), suggesting that synaptic transmission is conserved during regenerative models, but lost in degenerative models.
Dr. Janelle Geist Hauserman from Dr. Carsten Bonnemann's lab is talking in the Pathology and Diseases session about the importance of translating therapies to patients and the possibility of Dok7 and ColQ gene therapy treatments.
Aoife Reilly (@KotharyLab) did a fantastic job presenting her work where peripherally restricted SMN gene replacement therapy demonstrates potential mechanisms of muscle-intrinsic neurofilament accumulation, also stressing the importance of considering systemic SMA pathology.
Sandra Harjuhaahto from the Tyynismaa lab gave an excellent talk on the use of several models (patient-specific iPSC-derived co-cultures of motor neurons and myotubes, and mouse models) in evaluation of disease pathology of Spinal muscular atrophy Jokela type (SMAJ).

@NMJConference Thank you very much for having me. It was a fantastic conference and I hope to see it again next year! Very well done!
The videos show the muscle fiber in purple with blue regions where the endplates are. The #myonuclei and the axons are shown in different colors. But the synaptic nuclei close to the endplates are shown in different shades of green. The yellow regions are synapses. @NMJConference
One day, at the #LichtmanLab, as I mapped the connections between neurons and #myofibers, I found a muscle fiber with 2 #endplates. This discovery was very exciting because it gave rise to new questions but also opened a door with new possibilities of analysis to answer them.
