#Glucose transporters (#GLUT1 and #GLUT3) reveal to play pivotal roles in pediatric #huntingtondisease. We definitely need to disentangle their pathogenic mechanisms now.

Huntington disease is definitely a systemic illness and studying the pediatric variant opens new avenues to learn more - here we took home another piece of the puzzle https://t.co/xN2jx2iXB1

Organizzazioni discutibili che sotto elezioni promuovono iniziative su malattie rare al fine di fare subdola propaganda politica attraverso una comunicazione ambigua e autoreferenziale: come se chiunque dovesse accettare inviti di chi millanta per essere sul carro dei “sensibili”

Season 4 of #VirginRiver talks about #HD. Danny confesses to Lizzie why, even though he loves her, he can't be in a relationship with her: "I don't have a future, I have #huntingtondisease. It's not curable." We have to wait for Season 5 to learn how the theme will be developed.
