Belated congratulations to the newly minted Dr. Bagnell (@abagnell_sci)! She’s going on to do amazing things as a Medical Affairs Postdoctoral Fellow with Sanofi and we miss her dearly!
For #SMAAwarenessMonth 💜 we want to highlight new research offering hope for treating spinal muscular atrophy before birth. The @MackenzieTippi lab and @SumnerLab found that intra-amniotic delivery of SMN2 ASOs improved survival and motor function in SMA mouse models, surpassing outcomes of postnatal treatment.
Antisense oligonucleotides injected into amniotic fluid led to healthier motor neurons, improved behavior and survival in mouse models of spinal muscular atrophy. @HopkinsMedicine @UCSFMedicine scim.ag/43kciJ4
@VectorBuilder @MackenzieTippi Thanks for the shout out!! We’re committed to working to develop new treatment modalities to improve patients’ experiences.
🎉 Congratulations to our amazing post doc @MoLOTSofScience for receiving an F32 NIH grant! This award will help fund Dr. Molotsky’s incredible research into the mechanisms of SMA selective motor neuron degeneration. 🎉
After many years of amazing work, Dr. Jeremy Sullivan's paper (@SumnerLab ) is finally out and TRPV4 expression in brainstem blood vessels made the cover! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
This week's new issue of #ScienceTranslationalMedicine has arrived! Epigenetic clues can predict the risk of kidney failure in patients with type 1 diabetes, an experimental antiviral neutralizes an array of coronaviruses in mice, and more. scim.ag/73c
Congratulations to @CMM_JHU Anna Bagnell @abagnell_sci for winning the @JohnsHopkins Empower Your Pitch competition! Anna studies the role TRPV4 plays in regulating blood neural barriers in the @SumnerLab at @HopkinsMedicine.
Via @MuscleAndNerve: Children diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy as infants and treated with nusinersen achieved motor milestones previously unattainable for children with the disease: bit.ly/3Lk3j2v #NeuroTwitter @CHOP_Research @JinsyMd @SumnerLab @HopkinsMedicine
We're hiring! We're looking for a senior and a junior research technician/assistant on the SMA side, to help study new treatments for SMA in our mouse models. DM us or reach out to Charlotte Sumner for more info. Job listing to be posted soon!
Check out our new paper in Acta Neuropathologica Communications, co-authored by Lingling Kong and Cera Hassinan! Congrats to them both! rdcu.be/c83Jx
A belated welcome to our new postdoc on the SMA side, @MoLOTSofScience !! 🎉🎉🎉
Submissions are open for the new research collection, “Sensory Systems of Aquatic Animals” @FrontPhysiol, edited by Laure Bonnaud-Ponticelli, Anna Di Cosmo, and Jeremy Sullivan (@SumnerLab). For further details see: frontiersin.org/research-topic…
It’s online today!! So excited to share 🤩 Feels unreal to see it official after all those years. Ilaria started the project 10y ago, Liza did the bulk of it for her PhD & I completed it all (added some ASO/therapeutics & perfected the looks of it 😉) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
When dreaming about TRP channels, dream BIGGER! Our new pre-print "Crosstalk between regulatory elements in the disordered TRPV4 N-terminus modulates lipid-dependent channel activity" is finally out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
So proud of our PREP student, Cera!!!
