Yesterday in Amsterdam, Marjo van der Knaap gave her retirement lecture at @vuamsterdam.bsky.social. An international group of scientists working on #leukodystrophies paid respect to her achievements, including by wearing the traditional gown. There was also a good party @amsterdamleuko.bsky.social
Show PostDuring the symposium @amsterdamleuko.bsky.social, I learned that lifespan and quality of life have improved because caregivers now know better how to support #leukodystrophy patients. If that’s not a cause worth spending a scientific career on, I don’t know what is. Congratulations, Marjo!
Show PostFresh from the lab! In this new paper, PhD student Sven Kerst shows how phenotypes observed in isolated cell models for the leukodystrophy MLC are also observed in intact astrocytes in acute brain slices!

Show PostExcited to share our latest paper! We argue that in MS, the primary immune attack isn’t on myelin or myelinated axons — but on the ion & water homeostasis machinery in astrocyte endfeet. A short thread on this new perspective 1/11
