Tuberous sclerosis complex Nature Reviews Disease Primers - This Primer by Sahin and colleagues summarizes the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of tuberous sclerosis complex.

It’s been a great publishing week for the @sahinm.bsky.social’s lab! Kellen Winden and team provide an in‑depth overview of the biology, diagnosis, management, and evolving research landscape of #TSC. A great resource highlighting advances in this important genetic cause of #epilepsy and #autism.

An Open‐Source Pipeline for Calcium Imaging and All‐Optical Physiology in Human Stem Cell‐Derived Neurons This work introduces an open-source all-optical platform for functional phenotyping of human stem cell-derived neurons. The system integrates optogenetics, calcium imaging, automated acquisition, and...

Publication alert! We built an #opensource platform for functional phenotyping of hiPSC-derived #neurons, combining calcium #imaging, #optogenetic stimulation, #automated acquisition and analysis into an accessible workflow. @fedegasparoli.bsky.social @sahinm.bsky.social @sciwhye23.bsky.social

🗣️Non-federal funding alert!!! Aligning Research to Impact Autism (ARIA) has a new RFA to join their IMPACT Network, a clinical-translational research effort to accelerate care for people across the spectrum by enabling rapid therapeutic development. Up to $15 million over 5 years.

Macrophages protect against sensory axon loss in peripheral neuropathy - Nature A study in a mouse model of obesity and prediabetes demonstrates that recruitment of macrophages to nerves has a protective role in diet-induced peripheral neuropathy.

Research from the lab of Clifford Woolf at Boston Children's finds that, in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes, immune cells flood into peripheral nerves. This insight could lead to strategies to prevent peripheral neuropathy in diabetes.
