  1. Interesting webinar about #HuntingtonsDisease is coming on Sept 28th 2023, via the #HDF foundation: hdfoundation.org/webinars
    An online presentation by Judith Frydman and Natalia Barbosa (#Stanford) talking about “How expanding our knowledge of the Huntington's protein can unlock new therapies”. (A statement I fully agree with - to address a protein misfolding disease like HD, we need to understand what this #misfolding process really is!) #polyQ #huntingtondisease #biophysics

  2. Check out the latest paper from my buddy @TheVilchezLab on aging. The third paper today from my smart friends! V r doing well.

    New work from the lab @NatureAging!❄️Lowering body temperature extends #longevity. We find that cold-induced #proteostasis prevents #aging and aggregation of proteins that cause age-related diseases #ALS #HuntingtonDisease in C. elegans and human cells nature.com/articles/s43…

  3. Excited to again attend the annual Dutch Huntington research meeting, Monday next week! I guess this is sort of the 2022 version in early 2023 :) Hosted at uniQure in Amsterdam, with many interesting speakers and posters. Come to hear about our ongoing work on figuring out how #polyQ proteins misfold and aggregate, and how we try to prevent and change that bad protein behavior. We are looking forward to see you there! #huntingtondisease #amyloid

  4. CW: CW: mentions thoughts of suicide

    I appreciate Rich Wheeler sharing this story about #HuntingtonDisease. I interviewed him & Ruby at their home in #Newfoundland a number of years ago before her condition worsened. cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundlan #caregivers #HealthCare
