I have developed a blog about ALS disease (Lou Gehrig disease). [0]

I wrote also a book about the state of ALS research (updated on February 1) [1]

I would be interested in exploring the idea of using Cell Penetrating Peptides (or PROTAC) to either relocate or remove entirely TDP-43 aggregates. It could be studied at low cost on Ciona (an aquarium animal that looks like a plant). If someone is interested my email address is in my profile. Ciona intestinalis has motor neurons and can even regenerate its entire nervous system in only one month!

very cool to see something on here not made with code! hope your book does well!


Many thanks!

Actually two years ago I did also a computational model of ALS, but I was not so satisfied with it.
