How Cell Function Can Shed Light on Neurodegeneration with Vladimir Gelfand, PhD

The tiniest parts of the cell may provide new insights into challenging neurodegenerative diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). New research from Northwestern University has revealed a key mechanism underlying the development of motor neuron diseases, such as ALS, offering new insights into potential treatment options. This new finding published in the Journal of Neuroscience, comes from the lab of Vladimir Gelfand, PhD, and may help inform the treatment of ALS and other motor neuron diseases. 00:00 Introduction to ALS Research 00:39 Dr. Gelfand's Lab Overview 01:22 Understanding Microtubules 02:21 Why Study Fruit Flies 03:14 Advanced Imaging Techniques 04:18 Breakthrough ALS Discovery 04:42 The Ataxin-2 Gene 05:48 Microtubule Movement Discovery 06:37 Cytoplasm Flow Research 08:00 Importance of Collaboration 09:03 Vimentin Filaments Study 11:02 Scientific Community Reaction 11:18 Impact on ALS Treatment 12:10 Future Research Directions 13:09 Advice for Future Scientists 14:03 Closing Remarks ----------------------------------------- Visit the Feinberg website: https://www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/ SUBSCRIBE: http://spr.ly/60073dxlv TWITTER (X): http://spr.ly/60003dxmj INSTAGRAM: http://spr.ly/60083dxWi FACEBOOK: http://spr.ly/60063dxW0 LINKEDIN: http://spr.ly/60063dxqG About Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois: Our mission is to impact the practice of medicine through discovery and education to improve human health.
