WHAT IF YOUR NERVE CELLS WORKED LIKE A FACTORY?
When the Cellular Factory Breaks Down…
Can Science Help Repair It?
YOU'RE INVITED! SPF TALKS CELLULAR FACTORY ANALOGY
Saturday, November 21, 2026 | 10:00 AM CST
Every day, our nerve cells operate like tiny factories—producing energy, transporting essential supplies, and recycling worn-out materials. But what happens when one of those important systems stops working properly?
For people living with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) and Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS), understanding these cellular breakdowns may help researchers discover new pathways toward treatments and therapies.
Join us as we explore The Cellular Factory Analogy, introducing Dr. Rodney Bowling, Jr., Ph.D., Chief Science Officer with AlphaRose RareLabs/ To Cure A Rose Foundation.
Discover:
How the nerve cell's factory works—and what can go wrong.
Why the cell's recycling and cleanup systems matter.
How different SPG types may share similar cellular problems.
Why understanding these shared problems could open doors to future treatments.
No science degree required—just curiosity, questions, and hope! HSP/PLS patients, families, caregivers, and friends are welcome.
