Excited to share new study from the lab, work led by @JohnPAndrews_MD and grateful for all the collaborators who made this possible including @ChangLabUcsf @ucscgenomics
Today in @NatureNeuro, researchers led by @LabNowakowski, @ChangLabUCSF & Mircea Teodorescu (@ucscgenomics) demonstrate the first use of optogenetics to modulate seizure activity at the network level in human brain tissue: nature.com/articles/s41593-0… @JohnPAndrews_MD @UCSFstemcell

The Target ALS #DataEngine just got bigger! We’ve expanded datasets across all core collections, added a user manual, and released new demo videos. Now it’s easier than ever to explore and utilize rich data for #ALSResearch. Explore the updates: bit.ly/3yVk2GF

Check out the data that goes along with our new manuscript & conduct an exciting secondary analysis of your own! @RCFNeuro @alzdemjournals
New data from the @YokoyamaLabUCSF and @UCSFmac is now available on AD Workbench. Researchers can use this dataset to identify novel disease associations, cell-specific impacts, and therapeutic targets for Alzheimer’s. Access data via AD Workbench: bit.ly/45C3zmA

Really excited about our latest preprint, where we uncovered a neuroprotective role for neuronal polyunsaturated fatty acids in FTD and ALS. Led by @AshlingGiblin and @AlexCammack biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… 1/9

Paper 1 by @MathysHansruedi #VernaZhuyuPeng #CarlesBoix et al reports the largest single-cell atlas of #AD to date, across 2.3 million #scRNA cells and 427 post-mortem samples from #ROSMAP AD and non-AD donors, and reveals selectively vulnerable #somatostatin inhibitory neuron subtypes, epigenomic organization changes in #cohesin, #DNAdamage response factors, and specific inhibitory neuron signatures of #resilience cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

Excited to release our cell type atlas of the adult mouse brain! Here’s our portal: braincelldata.org And preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… We find minimal marker sets for all cell types, explore activity-regulated genes, and perform analyses of heritability enrichment.

Six years ago I was told to prepare to die. This is the improbable, inspiring, love-filled, hope-filled, true story about the extraordinary campaign that happened next. This is where you come in: please share this trailer with everyone so that we can bring hope to everyone.

I’m thrilled to announce that our collaborative study to identify KOLF2.1J as a reference “C57Bl/6J-like” human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line is finally out in Cell Stem Cell (bit.ly/3B0ncXp)! 🧵

Excellent review of human stem cell strategies and models for ALS and Neurodegenerative disease by the amazing Francesco Limone @CescoLime and @MordesLab. PS Keep an eye on Francesco who will soon be starting a postdoc with @LiddelowSA @ NYU
