  1. So much has gone into getting hold of this little cardboard box of pills; upending my life, moving countries, the endless tests. But then it will also mean a halt to the degeneration of my eyesight, hearing, heart, kidneys, and nervous system (and that's pretty great!) so I'm feeling a tad emotional looking at this little box. I can't believe I've actually got it.

    Of course, it *is* ludicrously expensive (1 month supply costs $28,000 AUD, although I only pay 25 bucks. Public healthcare baby!)

    I'm now something of a celebrity at the local Amcal for having the most expensive drug they dispense 🙂

  6. Am 28.2. Ist #TagDerSeltenenErkrankungen Durch den auf #SelteneErkrankungen aufmerksam gemacht werden soll. Ich habe das #EhlersDanlosSyndrom das auch unter die seltenen Erkrankungen fällt. Mein Weg zur Diagnose war -Wie bei vielen Betroffenen sehr lang- #RareDisease #RareDiseaseDay

  7. Very disappointing news on the Duchenne muscular dystrophy front. Elevidys, the only available gene therapy for DMD has shown no significant improvement in motor function in kids receiving the treatment after 1 year. However, certain secondary outcomes showed some benefit.

    It remains to be seen if FDA will allow it to stay on the market in the US, given that there are no other available treatments for DMD.

  9. Register now for the amazing hybrid centrosome conference in Istanbul, hosted by Elif Nur Firat-Karalar!

    Sharing this announcement on the fediverse. Unsure if Elif has joined Mastodon yet…

    Some of us might see this as the basal body meeting 😉

  10. 📣📣📣
    Okay, here it is, the #Cilia group:

    @cilia

    My first attempt didn't work, most likely because of the "&" within the former group-name.

    The way I understand this: everyone can now follow this group. If the group is mentioned in a post " @cilia ", this is shared with everyone in the group.

    Deeply sorry that the name is now only "cilia" - it is meant for maximum inclusion!!!

    It should include everyone:
    #raredisease #ciliopathies #centrosome #centriole #devbiol

    Please join!!! 🙂🙂🙂

  11. #HelloMstdn

    Hello fellow Mastodons!

    I'm a graduate student amazed by the entanglement of intuition, imagination and science! 😁 I work on #cilia #centrosome dynamics in the #skeletal #muscle at Jyotsna Dhawan's lab at CSIR-CCMB, India.

    In support of #raredisease research and communities.
