Today's FDA approval of #Trofinetide could bring new, much needed hope to many with #Rettsyndrome and their families. In 2009 @SurLabMIT made the first preclinical showing that IGF-1 could have therapeutic potential. picower.mit.edu/news/3-questio… @MIT @MITscience @MITbrainandcog
Very glad that this story is out! A big step forward in understanding how astrocytes modulate neuronal circuit encoding, with more to come from the @SurLabMIT

From basic research in the @SurLabMIT to the clinic – very exciting news for Rett Syndrome patients!

BREAKING NEWS – The first-ever treatment for #Rettsyndrome, Trofinetide, has been approved by the FDA! Learn more about this historic announcement: rettsyndrome.org/trofinetideapp…
Please find me and say hello!!! I am looking forward to meeting you all
Excited to share some new astrocyte viral tools we've been working on! A thread:

The Sur Lab is delighted to be celebrating the successful thesis defense of Dr. Ning Leow! Congratulations, @whatnowning !
Absolutely lovely catching up with friends from @SurLabMIT at #SfN22 @SfNtweets ☺️ @vbprovencher @KyleJenks12 @KTsimring @muratti1983 @neuro_runnerd @gabidrummond24
Busy morning for @SurLabMIT grad students @gabidrummond24 and @whatnowning presenting their work at the Sensorimotor Behavior poster session! 25 more min to catch them at W8 and W12 #SfN22
Thanks to the help of an amazing crew, we were able to show astrocytes depolarize with neuronal activity to shape glutamate neurotransmission. Check out the paper out today @NatureNeuro nature.com/articles/s4159…
Our paper with Blake (super talented then-undergrad headed to grad school this fall!) mapping inputs to the LP-ACC network is out! Big thanks also to @ian_wickersham for the discussions and reagents that made this study possible!
This is shaping up to be a great workshop! Thanks to the organizers for arranging this, looking forward to it

Two recent articles from Slate and The Atlantic on the topic, plus an endorsement from THE Covid epidemiologist... there is hope for mask-less running this summer!

The glamorous and the not-so-glamorous aspects of doing science - the highs and the lows, the struggle and the beauty of it all - it's all here. Timely not only bc of the pandemic, but also for the feeling lately that what I study seems vast and unknowable nytimes.com/2021/04/08/hea…
Apparently my mouse needs some help and this belongs in @AnimalFigures - news to me. Not my best lab meeting this morning but at least the members of the @SurLabMIT were amused by this
