Stole this from an excellent talk by ⁦@KNicholsonMD⁩ - who can tell me how to have a diet that supplements the things in blue, and suppresses the things in orange?

A big heartfelt thank you to @RepAuchincloss for taking time out of his busy schedule today to meet with me and my family. I truly believe he will do everything in his power to help the ALS community. As I said today WE NEED YOU! Thank you! ❤️

I can't emphasize this enough-the ALS Principles are the boundaries that people living with ALS have needed. 'What we allow will continue' and we must make sure we are building clear paths towards treatments for a horrendous disease, always working together so we get there faster
The Morris ALS Principles were developed by those most impacted by ALS as a social contract that will drive a path forward. They show how each of us can do better so that treatments and cures are a reality and not an empty promise. bit.ly/3fzHU4F

Today, we are excited to share news of our plans to submit a New Drug Submission for AMX0035 for the treatment of #ALS with Health Canada in the first half of 2021. This decision is based on the positive clinical data from the CENTAUR trial, and feedback from Health Canada.

If the ALSFRS-R is the gold standard, it is a chocolate coin in gold foil masquerading as such and someday will be devoured by more objective measures - a patient with a flair for the dramatic #alsmndsymp @MGHNeurology @KNicholsonMD
Replying to @EvanCampa
So can we stop using this as the “gold standard” for measuring treatment efficacy and progression? #alsmndsymp 4/4

Today at the Intl. Symposium on ALS/MND check out the latest findings from @GSVLab together with @tpetrozziello assessing how DRP1 and tau affect mitochondrial fragmentation in ALS. More info: tinyurl.com/yx9gbz3v #HealeyHope #ALSSymp
Thank you @PaganoniMDPhD @AmylyxPharma for presenting positive Centaur phase 2 results at #alsmndsymp with BOTH significant survival and functional benefits seen. Very exciting results for a well designed trial! Thank you to patients and caregivers from the study! @MGHNeurology

A consistent robust treatment effect on CSF biomarkers of neuroinflammation/neuronal injury (reduced) and neuroprotection (increased) was seen in the Phase 3 @BrainstormCell trial. Important learnings for the entire ALS field! @MGHNeurology #alsmndsymp #HealeyHope
