Can we identify biomarkers responsive to mHTT lowering? In this new study, we investigated 💧 #CSF and ☢️ #PET biomarkers that could be used non-invasively to track 📈 the temporal response to #mHTT modulation in mice 🐭. #openaccess article: 👉 lnkd.in/eqTirauF

A new study has ranked Canada 3rd on a list of the top countries with social purpose, seen as being “the most progressive and inclusive” countries in the world. Denmark and Sweden occupy the top 2 spots on the list, while Norway and New Zealand round out the top 5. Via @cultmtl.bsky.social

Women tend to age better cognitively than men, but why? This cool new study finds aging reactivates genes on the inactive X chromosome in the female hippocampus. This shift could contribute to cognitive resilience, with the myelin gene Plp1 playing a major role. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This large multi-omic study links tandem repeat (TR) variations to gene regulation in the human brain. We’ve know for sometime that TRs are not just genomic noise (TRs cause HD, FXS, SCAs, ALS/FTD to name a few), but ~18k TRs as potential causal variants is still a shock. doi.org/10.1038/s415...
