Hunter syndrome: Boy with rare condition amazes doctors after world-first gene therapy
Oliver has an inherited condition called Hunter syndrome, which causes progressive damage to the body and brain.
The parents of a three-year-old boy born with a devastating, life-limiting genetic condition say they are now excited for his future after he received a revolutionary stem cell gene therapy treatment developed by researchers at the University of Manchester.

Point of View: To be, or not to be, part-time in academia
Part-time working can be beneficial for individual academics, and also for academia as a whole.
Happy to share our new paper about working part-time in academia. We hope it can help to get the conversation going about this important aspect of EDI and research culture elifesciences.org/articles/106... @elife.bsky.social @emiliapsantos.bsky.social @englishse.bsky.social @hammofish.bsky.social

Still working on it, but now we are on bluesky I want to share our current preprint with you on"Local optogenetic NMYII activation within the zebrafish neural rod results in long range, asymmetric force propagation". www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
