Excited to share this excellent article by Teddy Amenabar Teddy Amenabar in The Washingotn Post The Washington Post. It provides a clear & balanced look at our recent discovery of a class of household chemicals that are harmful to the brain's myelinating cells.

Proud to see work from our lab making its way to patients. I am hopeful that the investigational drug, ION356, being tested by Ionis will be found to be both safe & effective in people with Pelizaeus Merzbacher disease🙏

Great work by Ben, Paul Tesar, & the team. Such an insightful dive into modulation of astrocyte reactivity.

Francesco Limone and I were honored to write the Nature Neuroscience N&V on this piece - see rdcu.be/dzXrM.
