Could autophagy enhancement slow aging and combat Alzheimer's? 🧬🧠✨ www.news-medical.net/news/2025010... #Autophagy #Aging #Neurodegeneration #Alzheimers #Parkinsons #Huntingtons #Brain #Health #CellularMechanisms #Neuroscience @cellpress.bsky.social

We are deeply saddened by the loss of author and journalist Charlotte Raven. Charlotte was a passionate and powerful HD advocate and leaves behind an indelible legacy of courage and strength in the #HDcommunity.

New research sheds important light on the mechanisms underpinning HD neuropathology: doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... and doi.org/10.1038/s415.... Together, these insights suggest a need for disease-altering therapeutics aiming to slow or stop somatic expansion. #huntingtonsdisease

Check out the latest edition of the #HD Clinical Trials Update, now available online in the Journal of Huntington's Disease @profwild.bsky.social 🔓 Open access link: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

A recent publication by Nopoulos and colleagues has stimulated important debate on the evidence for ß-blockers in potentially modulating HD pathophysiology. See the response by Koyak, Weydt & Aziz which points to the need for further experimental work: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

HUGE HUGE news for #HuntingtinsDisease therapeutic community. UniQure has secured from FDA 1) path to accelerated approval based on current ph1/2 trials 2) Neurofilament light drop as supportive evidence (NEVER been agreed by FDA in HD) 3) cUHDRS as clin endpoint - a reversal of their 2017 “no”
