Aging is associated with progressive white matter degeneration, which impairs brain structure and function. Defects in myelinating glial cells, combined with chronic neuroinflammation, contr...
A core goal of neuroscience is to understand how the brain adaptively orchestrates movements to execute complex behaviors. Quantifying behavioral dynamics, however, has historically been pro...
In this third and final part of our translational cell and gene therapy webinar series we delve into cell therapy applications beyond immune oncology. Firstly, we will look into Miltenyi Bio...
C9orf72 repeat expansions cause inherited amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/frontotemporal dementia (ALS/FTD) and result in both loss of C9orf72 protein expression and production of potentially...

Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases (AD, PD) are the two most common neurodegenerative disorders. Both diseases are characterized by abnormal aggregates in the brain, which incl...
Selective vulnerability of brain regions and specific neural populations in neurodegeneration remains little understood. We hypothesize that pre-existing physiological differences in neurons...
