Wonderful opening session at #SMACongress2024 Excited for a week of patient, clinician and researcher collaboration! @SMAEurope @NEAnatomist @hazelAllardyce_
We are pleased to welcome five new members to our Scientific Advisory Panel, including an early career researcher and two lay members. 🧑🔬🔬 They'll play a crucial role in peer-reviewing research funding proposals and help to shape our research strategy. mndscotland.org.uk/news/mnd-scotl…

@NEAanatomist great study, always look carefully to ensure the data fits the appearance
and nice to see a very old lab mate Derek Thomson, on the poster in the middle too :-)
Parson lab at the EMC academic afternoon yesterday. Just missing @NEAnatomist! Thanks to @EuansCentre for organising a great session of talks. #MND #SMA 🧠🔬
It’s official…I graduated! 🎓🎉🍾 Thank you so much to everyone who supported me through my PhD. It’s been an incredible experience! @NEAnatomist @ParsonLab @anat_soc #PhDone ✅
So pleased to see @hazelAllardyce_ graduate her PhD, and so disappointed that I couldn't be there to join in the celebration. Equally pleased tat shen decided to stay on the a poist-doc. Look out for her next paper .... @ParsonLab
Super proud of @ParsonLab PhD student Abedallah Hamida for his fabulous presentation on neuronal vulnerability to TDP-43 at the UoAberdeen PGR conference! #ALS #TDP43
I'm late but this review by @ClaireDessalles in @J_Cell_Sci on the mechanobiology of pericytes is excellently written... I knew almost nothing about it this morning. I probably still know very little but after reading it I feel like I'm an expert🤓 journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…
Great use of @what3words in #Braemar #Cairngorms for the #knitwits Balloon trail @NEAnatomist
What is the role of non-motor neuron pathology in disease initiation and progression? Are we collecting sufficient data from treated patients? What aspects of pathology are not treated by current therapies? @SMAEurope @SMA_UK_

Great work @hazelAllardyce_
Sad news for patients. This strengthens the need for a better understanding of the fundamental pathology underlying the many variants of motor neuron diseases. The plural there is important, as these are not a single disease, requiring a single treatment @MNDScotland @mndassoc
