Saradnici projekta H2020 AUTOIGG sa Biološkog fakulteta, doktorant Mina Perić i prof. Pavle Anđus, koordinator projekta, objavili su 19. maja sa grupom saradnika sa Northwestern University iz Čikaga u ediciji Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience rad „The Electrophysiological Determinants of Corticospinal Motor Neuron Vulnerability in ALS“. Izlazak ovog rada objavljen je i kao vest u izdanju AAAS EurekAlert!. Ova publikacija je plod saradnje sa prof. Hande P. Ozdinler u čijoj laboratoriji je Mina Perić provela godinu dana stručnog boravka u okviru AUTOIGG projekta.

Scientists from Northwestern Medicine and the University of Belgrade have pinpointed the electrophysiological mechanism behind upper motor neuron (UMN) disease, unlocking the door to potential treatments for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other neurodegenerative diseases, such as Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia and Primary Lateral Sclerosis.
