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/…

Pericyte mechanics and mechanobiology

Summary: This Review focuses on forces generated by pericytes, solid and fluid mechanical forces exerted on pericytes, and the mechanobiological responses of pericytes to these forces.

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_
Spinal Muscular Atrophy UK@SMA_UK_11 Oct 2023
@SMAEurope aims to identify the top 10 unanswered research questions on SMA through their SMA Priority Setting Project. 📢 Our CEO Giles Lomax, is attending the workshop. If you have any thoughts or comments on what research priorities should be, share them below! 👇

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

This week it's been announced that 2 drugs, memantine and trazodone, will be removed from the MND-SMART trial, because of lack of benefit to people living with MND. Full story below or contact your site team if you have any questions about this change: myname5doddie.co.uk/whats-on…
