🎥 Meet Kenan, the researcher behind a live ResearchHub proposal.
Nearly every case of ALS involves a protein called 𝘛𝘋𝘗-43, but scientists still don’t fully understand how it drives disease.
In this video, Kenan explains how his lab discovered something unexpected in a fruit fly model: inflammation doesn’t stay where the neurons are damaged. It appears to spread throughout the body.
His team at
@EPFL is now investigating 3 key questions:
1. What’s carrying the inflammatory signal?
2. Which receptors are detecting it?
3. Could reducing this peripheral inflammation help slow disease progression?
