Mahmoud will be giving a talk on July 19th at Osaka University.
The talk is titled: What is the role of oligodendroglia in neurodegenerative disorders?
Congrats to Bryan Ng on winning the Best Poster award at the A*STAR Research Attachment Research Scholars Day for his presentation on evaluating the functional impact of phosphorylation at serine-421 in human neural cells. Well done!
Congrats to Ruizhu Zeng for being selected by the Stem Cell Society of Singapore for a travel award to attend the ISSCR 2016 meeting in Boston.
Very happy to announce that our study on gene correction of Huntington disease patient-derived hiPSCs has been featured on the cover of Stem Cell Reports (Xu et al, Stem Cell Reports, 2017, 8(3):619-633) has been featured on the cover of the journal. Original Art work by Julia Yellow.
Our paper on gene correction of HD hiPSCs and HD disease modelling using isogenic stem cells will appear in the March 2017 issue of Stem Cell Reports. The paper can be accessed here (open access).
Graphical summary of the study
Great team effort led by the talented Xiaohong Xu.
Delighted to announce that our study on white matter abnormalities in rodent models of Huntington disease (Teo et al, Hum Mol Genet, 2016, 25(13): 2621-2632) has been featured on the cover of the journal.
Mahmoud will give a talk on Nov 26th at First Annual National Symposium on Children's Neural Disorders and Regenerative Medicine (CNDRM 2016, Nov 25-27) in Shenzhen, China.
His talk will be on modeling Fragile X Syndrome using human pluripotent stem cells.
Mahmoud will present at the 8th Stem Cell Society Singapore's (SCSS) Symposium titled "Modelling Cell Fate & Development".
His talk is on modeling neurodevelopmental aspects of neurodegenerative disorders using isogenic human pluripotent stem cells.
Our study evaluating laquinimod in the YAC128 mouse model of HD has been published in Scientific Reports. The paper can be accessed here (open access).
Costanza's abstract on the aetiology and consequences of white matter pathology in HD has been selected for an oral presentation at the 2016 Society for Neuroscience Conference in San Diego. Congrats!
Stay tuned for details of date, time and venue.
