This 3D human skin tissue model recapitulates the structure of skin, how HSV infects it, & how existing drugs work.

The #NCATS, @uwiscrm.bsky.social, @uwdeptmedicine.bsky.social, @uwdgh.bsky.social, & @fredhutch.org team screened 738 potential compounds & identified 23 potential antivirals.

In #SC25 Booth 4424 at 3:30 PM, Chris Bizon will be presenting on the #NCATS #BiomedicalData Translator, a new tool for Biomedical Data Integration and Inference.

Two side-by-side screenshots of webpages linked in the thread below. On the left, the article “An organ-on-a-chip model of ALS will help uncover early disease characteristics and find potential therapies” with an image of motor neurons and their axons (labeled in green) growing on a spinal cord-on-a-chip, from Cedars Sinai. On the right, the article, “Protein in the blood can help predict ALS survival and decline, play role in developing treatments” with a Shuttershock illustration of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis showing the human nervous system and the differences in muscle-nerve communication between healthy and ALS individuals.

This year, #NCATS funded researchers are making strides in #ALS research. Two studies highlight the power of clinical phenotyping, genetic assays, and human tissue-chips in developing treatments and designing clinical trials.
