    Inside Rett syndrome with Prof. Nicoletta Landsberger

    In episode seven of our Neuroscience Research series, Filippo Dall'Armellina and Dr. Michael Cearns speak with Dr. Nicoletta Landsberger from the University of Milan. Her research focuses on Rett syndrome: a rare, severe X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder and a leading cause of intellectual disability in females. They discuss how the disease progresses in Mecp2-deficient mice, the therapeutic potential of neural precursor cell transplants, and a promising non-invasive treatment strategy: intranasal delivery of nerve growth factor. Research Highlights from the Episode: - Paper 1: Carli et al. A comprehensive longitudinal study of magnetic resonance imaging identifies novel features of the Mecp2-deficient mouse brain. Neurobiology of Disease, 2023. PMID: 36931532. - Paper 2: Frasca et al. Neural precursor cells rescue symptoms of Rett syndrome by activation of the Interferon γ pathway. EMBO, 2024. PMID: 39496971. - Paper 3: Pozzer et al. Clinical-grade intranasal NGF fuels neurological and metabolic functions of Mecp2-deficient mice. Brain, 2025.

    Neurodevelopmental disorders with Prof. Michele Jacob

    In the fourth episode of our Neuroscience Research series, hosts Filippo Dall'Armellina and Dr. Michael Cearns are joined by Prof. Michele Jacob, Professor of Neuroscience at Tufts University. Prof. Jacob’s research focuses on autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disabilities, and the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders. Her work spans basic biology, including the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway, as well as electrophysiological studies and preclinical mouse models. Together, we discuss groundbreaking evidence for therapeutic interventions targeting conditions such as autism spectrum disorder and the rare CTNNB1 syndrome.
