Matt’s work, which reveals bi-directional signalling mechanisms between neutrons and astrocytes within spinal motor circuits has been accepted for publication by Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience. The paper entitled…
Work from Anna-Claire, Amit, Veronica and our collaborators in Edinburgh, which reveals pathophysiology in human iPSC-derived motoneurons caused by iPSC-derived astrocytes harbouring C9orf72 mutations, has been…
Filipe’s work, which reveals a balance in cholinergic modulation of spinal motor circuits due to the opposing actions of M2 and M3 muscarinic receptors, has been accepted for publication in Scientific Reports. The…
David and Matt’s work demonstrating astrocyte-derived metamodulation, which involves interactions between adenosinergic and dopaminergic signalling within spinal motor circuits, has just been accepted for publication…
A multi-centre paper we contributed to, which shows dysregulation of AMPAR expression in C9ORF72 ALS, has just been accepted for publication in Nature Communications. This paper includes Amit’s findings that ALS…
