Proud to see our image selected for the November @CellStemCell cover, spotlighting two papers from my lab and @Pluchinolab that showcase the power of patient stem cell-derived models to study multiple sclerosis. (1/2)
It's incredible to see the field gaining momentum and more labs embracing stem cell models, and I'm more hopeful than ever about what lies ahead! (4/4)
Of course, this was only possible thanks to @TesarLab , Ben Clayton, @liliannebarbar , @chandrrrika @kritikalpana1 , @dan_paull , Patrizia Casaccia, Ilana Katz Sand, @BiancaMigliori and the whole team ❤️
Thanks to Jerome Mertens and team for this #preview. Honored to publish back to back with the @Pluchinolab and excited about the potential of human models and reprogramming technologies for studying MS
Extremely nice #preview of our own work, as well as of the other MS-in-a-dish paper from @fossati_v by Jerome Mertens and team
I am excited to present my latest research at the @ISSCR Athens International Symposium, taking place in Athens, Greece on 3-4 April 2025. Register to hear my presentation! invt.io/1txbiu3cxbd

Delighted to see this fantastic work by @BristenaIonescu @Telencephale now published in @CellStemCell as a joint effort with the @dalessandrolab

Any #Covid expert here that can recommend which one is the best booster for an immunosuppressed person? Thanks
No longer active on social media, but I had to come back to share the joy for this study. A long journey and a bold goal when I decided a decade ago to use stem cell models to study MS, despite the many challenges. Thanks @TesarLab @bllclayton @liliannebarbar and all co-authors!
Our new study led by @fossati_v & @TesarLab is out in @CellStemCell! We report the largest collection of patient stem cell models of multiple sclerosis & use them to show that glial cells contribute to the disease, pointing to the need for new therapies: nyscf.org/resources/human-st…

Our Cosmic Brain Organoid research project is flying to the #ISS for a 6th time on @SpaceX -30 today at 4:55pm ET! Thank you to @ISS_CASIS for this great article! #space #research #stemcells #PD #MS #ISS
To better understand #neurodegenerative diseases like #parkinsons and #ms, researchers from the @nationalscf are sending miniature 3D models of the human brain to the @Space_station. Research results could ultimately benefit millions of people worldwide: ow.ly/6mL150QWQcF

Excited to be in Cambridge for the first time! Awesome meeting @organoidsphero1. I look forward to sharing our latest updates on LEO research
NSCF #research partner Dr. Valentina Fossati will be discussing our Cosmic Brain Organoid study of neurodegeneration in #space during a keynote presentation this week @OrganoidSphero1. Congratulations @fossati_v! #stemcells @nyscf

Almost here… one last trip to NYC and the organoids will be back home 🤩
Welcome back #Ax3!! We are happy for the safe return, and looking forward to continuing our research on #nuerodegeneration in microgravity with cells carried aboard to @Space_Station!
I cannot recommend enough this conference to trainees. The opportunities for networking, the outstanding talks..all immersed in the enchanted Sedona. This will be your favorite conference of the year!!
Register now for the 2024 Spring Brain Conference that will take place in Sedona, AZ in just 3 months! Check out our speaker line-up and submit abstracts for Hot Topic and Trainee Presentations here: springbrainconferences.org
