Such a thrill to see our work on developing genetic theraputics for Timothy Syndrome on the cover of @Nature today. One of the most gratifying projects i've ever worked on, alongside @XiaoyuChenxy with @Sergiu_P_Pasca at the helm. Excited for what lies ahead for dev. theraputics!
Sergiu P. Pasca@Sergiu_P_Pasca

Today, I’m thrilled have our lab’s work featured on the cover of @Nature In this article, we have developed a therapeutic approach for a severe condition called Timothy syndrome. This has been a long journey. It started with making hiPS cell-derived neurons in 2D cultures 15 years ago when I was a postdoc and continued with later creating in the lab #organoid and then #assembloid models of this disease caused by a mutation in a calcium channel. Over time, these human cellular models and the biological insights we gained enable us to design a therapeutic strategy, which we validated in vivo following circuit integration of patient-derived organoids into the rat brain. Grateful for the incredible work led by @XiaoyuChenxy and @fikribirey in the lab! And the many close collaborators who participated to this line of research over the years.

First SCN8A epilepsy grant awarded! So grateful that when I approached @DullaChris after Margot’s diagnosis, he did not hesitate to collaborate to start SCN8A research! Thanks @AmEpilepsySoc for the Seed Grant to characterize a new mouse model and test out disease-correcting ASOs

Glad to share our latest work out in @Nature today We show that human cortical #organoids transplanted into the somatosensory cortex of newborn rats develop mature cell types and integrate into sensory circuits and can influence reward-seeking behavior nature.com/articles/s4158…

From our recent @Nature— outlining key terms [part 1] ‘We define #organoids as in vitro-generated cellular systems that emerge by self-organization, include multiple cell types, and exhibit some cytoarchitectural and functional features reminiscent of an organ or organ region.’
