Acetylation of the HD protein

Dr. Dimitri Krainc

New and improved ... another revision.

Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital’s Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease have developed a new strategy for treating Huntington’s Disease by showing that enhancing the acetylation of the HD protein will tag it for clearance through autophagy. Acetylation involves the attachment of an acetyl group to a protein to modify its activities.

My Friend, My Hero, My Lorna - by Kelly B.

This tribute to my best friend Lorna is way overdue. She is one of the kindest, most amazing people I have ever met. To know Lorna is to love Lorna; one just can not help it. I first met Lorna at the BC Lions Camp Squamish at a Huntington's camp years ago. We were instant friends and as we shared our hearts and souls with each other, we discovered we had matching baggage when it came to our past experiences.
