Leveraging single-cell transcriptomics for ALS disease model characterisation and mechanistic insights

28 Jan 2026
Single-Cell Stage
  • Overview of single-cell technologies and computational approaches for analysing single-cell data 
  • Insights into the role of C9ORF72 in the pathogenesis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) 
  • Development of motor neuron–microglia coculture models to study neuroinflammation and C9ORF72-associated ALS pathology 
  • Single-cell RNA sequencing uncovers altered inflammatory signatures in C9ORF72 cocultures compared to controls
