Very excited to share that our preprint is online now! @Andrea_Loreto1 and I show that SARM1 neurotoxicity is reversible and can be prevented in human neurons using ASOs. Massive thanks to the whole team! @WadeMartinsLab @Lab_Coleman @KavliOxford biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

Our latest preprint is out! We developed ASOs targeting human SARM1, and report exciting mechanistic insights showing that neurotoxicity and mitochondrial dysfunction are reversible, even hours after SARM1 activation! In human neurons! Key implications for SARM1 therapies #SARM1

Happy to share my 2nd iPSC paper from my PhD studies with @WadeMartinsLab at nature.com/articles/s41380-0…! We showed that depleting tau in human iPSC-derived neurons is protective against Abeta. It was a collaborative effort, extremely thankful to the team. #research #Alzheimer

Delighted to share our paper @NatureComms. We show that C9orf72-#ALS iPSC microglia are pro-inflammatory and toxic to co-cultured motor neurons via MMP9. Special thanks to all the amazing people from @MNDOxford who contributed! @NDCNOxford @KavliOxford nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Our new paper is out in @hmg_journal! We show impaired mitophagy in LRRK2 R1441C iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons from people with Parkinson's and primary cortical neurons. academic.oup.com/hmg/article… Some of Matt's cortical cultures even made the front cover!

Check out new work from our lab exploring mitochondrial dysfunction in Parkinson's disease. Congrats to all authors, especially @Marta_Madureira on her first first author paper! 🥳
New research from @WadeMartinsLab & colleagues explores mitochondrial dysfunction & mitophagy defects in LRRK2-R1441C-associated #Parkinsons models; Also shows LRRK2 interaction with MIRO1 occurs at mitochondria, in a genotype-independent manner academic.oup.com/hmg/advance…

Cramb et al. review the evidence for dopamine release deficits prior to neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease, and highlight mechanisms by which these deficits can occur. bit.ly/3GOTw2d

Dopamine release deficits in #Parkinsons there is actually dysfunction or dysregulation of axonal dopamine release before cell loss. Blows your mind right, think about it, and read this @Brain1878 and it will make sense. academic.oup.com/brain/advan…

New review from @Crambberriee @DayneBeccano @StephCragg & @WadeMartinsLab explores the question (& evidence) of whether there is impaired dopamine release in #Parkinsons before there is any cell loss academic.oup.com/brain/advan…

Cell death and loss of DA are often used interchangeably to explain motor symptoms in PD. We highlight a critical distinction between these two concepts: is synaptic dysfunction an innocent bystander indicating imminent cellular demise or does it contribute to symptom onset?
