ResearchHub(@ResearchHub):🎥 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? Support Kenan's research →
