Very pleased to share our review in @molneurodegen.bsky.social, assessing evidence for #ExtracellularVesicle associated #TDP43. We highlight knowledge gaps relating to its biomarker usage and possible involvement in seeding of templated aggregation in #ALS, #FTD and #LATE.

Congratulations to Björn @bvahsen.bsky.social for winning the Young Investigator Award at #ENCALS2025 for his work on #microglia in #ALS/#MND!🌟

Final day at #ENCALS2025: watch out for Björn's @bvahsen.bsky.social talk this afternoon!

Many congratulations to Dr Bjorn Vahsen, who has been awarded the Junior Research Prize by Deutche Gesellschaft fur Muskelkranke e.V (The German Society for Muscular Diseases). @bvahsen.bsky.social @kavlioxford.bsky.social

Check out our new review of C9orf72 ALS in @thelancetneuro.bsky.social with Sarah Mizielinska, Rosa Rademakers and others! Was fun to co-write but tough to collate such incredible progress into a one article: authors.elsevier.com/c/1ke765FFzL...

🚨Come and join us! Research assistant position here at
@mndoxford.bsky.social @ndcnoxford.bsky.social, working on isolation of extracellular vesicles from biofluids for biomarker discovery in #ALS #MND with @lizziedellar.bsky.social. Check out the details below: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...

Come and join us! Research assistant position open at @mndoxford.bsky.social @ndcnoxford.bsky.social, working on collecting neuroimaging data in #ALS and #FTD. Previous research experience with humans is essential. This post would suit a #Psychology or #Neuroscience graduate. See link below for info

We also have several group members giving platform talks as well as a plenary lecture! We would be delighted to see you there - see below for our presenters and talks #MND #ALS @mndassoc.bsky.social #alsmndsymp

We are excited to be here in Montreal for @mndassoc.bsky.social #alsmndsymp! We would be delighted to see you at our posters - see below for our presenters and poster numbers #MND #ALS

#MeetTheResearcher
This week, we’re excited to introduce Björn Vahsen (@bvahsen.bsky.social) from Kevin Talbot's lab. Björn is a postdoctoral scientist studying the role of microglia in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis using iPSC models.

@RNA @dementiaresearcher.bsky.social @idpseminars.bsky.social @scotsfriction.bsky.social‬ @MND One week left to apply for two post-doc positions available on how altered condensation of TDP-43 changes RNA metabolism. Biophysics of protein-RNA condensates and neuronal transcriptomics:

@mndoxford.bsky.social is now also here on Bluesky. Give it a follow to hear research updates from the whole Oxford MND Centre!

(1/3) Happy to share our new work assessing protein changes in CSF of 48 asymptomatic C9orf72 variant carriers at higher risk of #ALS and #FTD.

We find an elevation in levels of UCHL1 protein, even in the absence of elevation in #neurofilament (NFL).

!WELCOME!

thought we might need a starter pack for all those coming over from the birdhouse - here's a GliaSky list.
