In a recent with Jan Carette’s lab, we introduce an #assembloid model for studying neuro-infection with enteroviruses including poliovirus. The videos below capture the loss of human muscle contraction, which is under the control of spinal cord neurons, after a week of infection.

STEM CELL THERAPIES FOR ENTERIC NEUROPATHIES, with Dr Lincon Stamp, Senior Research Fellow & Group Leader, Department of Anatomy and Physiology, School of Biomedical Sciences, The University of Melbourne @unimelb.bsky.social , Victoria, Australia @stamphaolab.bsky.social youtu.be/4EdI2jJL1l8

Ecstatic to share our paper on nutrient signaling in the #EntericNervousSystem published in Nature! 🧪 We explored how neurons in the gut respond to basic nutrients that we typically ingest and tested whether they can distinguish between different nutrients 🔬 Check it out 👉 tinyurl.com/3vc756dv
