Hey, folks?

Mike Ahlers is an old friend and colleague from way back when. He's a semi-pro bicycle racer these days. He's riding in the 2025 Triple Bypass (https://www.triplebypass.org/) in Colorado to raise money for #MuscularDystrophy research, by way of the #FSHD Society (https://www.fshdsociety.org/about-us/).

Both Mike and his sister have #MuscularDystrophy (specifically, facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy), so he's got skin in the game.

If you've got a few bucks to spare would you please consider donating to his ride?

Triple Bypass

The Triple Bypass is an epic bucket-list bicycle ride and cycling event in Colorado, allowing cyclists the opportunity to ride Juniper Pass, Loveland Pass and Vail Pass without cars. Hosted by a 501(c)3 that has donated millions to charitable non-profits to the Colorado community.

»Was unterscheidet Kranke von nicht Kranken, was Menschen mit Behinderung von Menschen ohne Behinderung? Diese Frage treibt Marion um, seit sie im Alter von 15 Jahren erfuhr, dass sie an der unheilbaren Muskelerkrankung #FSHD leidet. In der Doku erzählt die in Brüssel lebende Künstlerin, wie sie es geschafft hat, sich nicht mehr über ihre #Krankheit zu definieren.«

¡Hola! Llevo ya tiempo por aquí, pero he visto a mucha gente haciendo su #introducción o #presentación así que me animo a hacer lo mismo, que no lo había hecho aún en esta instancia:

📚 Con mucho síndrome del impostor digo que soy #escritor, he publicado ya algunas cosillas, tanto por mi cuenta como en editorial. Mis historias tienen representación #queer y de personas con #discapacidad.
🖥️ Soy muy seriéfilo, veo bastantes #series en mi día a día. Últimamente vivo por y para los #kdramas, no logro salir de ese pozo.
😜 Me encantan los chistes malos.
🙅‍♂️ No tolero los discursos de odio. Ni capacitismo, ni LGTBIfobia, ni racismo, ni transfobia, ni machismo...
♿ Tengo una discapacidad, una distrofia muscular conocida como #FSHD.
🇰🇷 Me gusta el #kpop y el idioma #coreano, que trato de aprender por mi cuenta con más o menos acierto.

Posiblemente me olvido de algo pero me quedo sin espacio 😂

Check out our latest complete issue that includes heaps of #OpenAccess science:

🎇A cover featuring differentiated #myotubes derived from #FSHD patient cells
🧠An Editorial that discusses how we can improve #mouse modelling of #Schizophrenia
🧫A review on aneuploidy & #CellCompetition that explores their impact on #cancer
👂🏼 A review on #InnerEar development & disease
🐹🐭A #COVID19 model stand-off for the #EditorsChoice
🧪And much more fantastic #biomedical research

Correlation between whole body muscle MRI and functional measures in paediatric patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy - PubMed

Symptoms and severity of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) can vary greatly, even within the same family. Clinical trial readiness requires accurate and reliable methods of assessing disease stage and progression. MRI has not previously been assessed as a disease biomarker in paediatric …
