STEM CELL-DERIVED CRANIAL AND SPINAL MOTOR NEURONS REVEAL PROTEOSTATIC DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ALS RESISTANT AND SENSITIVE MOTOR NEURONS

Stem cell-derived cranial and spinal motor neurons reveal proteostatic differences between ALS resistant and sensitive motor neurons

In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis NIACINAMIDE (ALS) spinal motor neurons (SpMN) progressively degenerate while a subset of cranial motor neurons (CrMN) are spared until late stages of the disease.Using a rapid and efficient protocol to differentiate mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC) to SpMNs and CrMNs, we now report that ESC-derived CrMNs accumulate

Disaggregating the Value of Conservation Agriculture to Inform Smallholder Transition to Sustainable Farming: A Mexican Case Study

Conservation Agriculture (CA) is promoted by research and development (R&D) agencies to sustainably intensify agricultural systems with the goals of improving food security and livelihoods and adapting food systems to global climate change.Despite the many benefits of CA, there are few farmers around the world that have simultaneously implemented a
