Sequestering sequestosome 1 via S-acylation in autophagy, Huntington disease, and beyond

Protein mislocalization and aggregation are hallmark features in neurodegeneration. As proteins mislocalize, proteostasis deficiency and protein aggregation typically follow. Autophagy is a crucial...

Thank you to everyone who donated and/or came to the Walk to End ALS today! I think it was a very successful event. Special thanks to my lab members who helped make shirts, volunteered at the walk, & walked the walk! You're amazing! @uwaterloo.ca @waterloosci.bsky.social @alscanada.bsky.social

I successfully defended my Master’s thesis at the University of Waterloo! This journey has been incredibly rewarding. A huge thank you to my supervisor @drddom.bsky.social for his mentorship. It’s been a privilege being part of the NeurdyPhagy team! I’m now seeking new opportunities—let’s connect!

Now that @jesuisyasmeena.bsky.social is on Bluesky, I should reshare this fantastic review she wrote, published in the Journal of Huntington's Disease. It's open access. Enjoy!
