S U C C E S S ๐Ÿ‘ We're delighted to share that the National Institute for Health & Care Excellence (NICE) has announced that it has reconsidered its routing decision for Tofersen, an effective drug for SOD1 #MND. Over 15,000 of you signed our petition. This is your victory.

Closing 28 Nov 2024. Ideally suited for a postdoc wanting to perform a CRISPR screen in stem-cell derived motor neurons to find new targets for C9ORF72-ALS.

Indeed this is an awful decision and makes a mockery of all of our science. Iโ€™ve signed and have been spreading the word. We have to fight this so we can fight MND

NICE has made the decision to treat tofersen, a specialised genetic therapy for a small subset of people with #ALS #MND developed in the UK, as a general therapy, condemning it to fail their assessment. We must change that decision. Sign the petition: ecampaigns.mndassociation.org/page/151379/peโ€ฆ



Please consider signing the below petition for NICE to change their decision regarding Tofersen, a potentially life-saving treatment for people with SOD1-associated #ALS #MND, so that it can be given the best chance of being made available on the NHS ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿพ

Brilliant to see our researchers publishing exciting new research! With #MND #ALS gene therapies taking center stage at the moment, this approach could open up more options for their development.

Out @ScienceMagazine! New tech to activate ALS gene therapies only in the right cells at the right time - Increased safety to have more options for ALS. We do it by taking advantage of cryptic splicing. science.org/doi/10.1126/scโ€ฆ @UCLIoN @TheCrick @OscarWilkins16 @MaxZYJChien
