Hey @agmoore2,
Thanks for the article!
New account? Funny!
I interrupt my little Easter holiday just for this really special post. We have discussed this previously and it's getting even more interesting. Besides the fact that Huntington disease is a quite remarkable disease (the more repeats you got, the more intelligent you are, the higher is your risk) which is quite unique, the devastating effects are comparable to other diseases you mentioned. I think I never mentioned that I researched Amyloidosis-related proteins for years. While doing this I found that some of them are very good to prevent the onset of AD (for instance) but once the first fiber is formed these beneficial players worsening the symptoms. Therefore, it is always hard for researchers to explain the exact mechanisms. And especially AD is hard to access due to both abeta and tau. Maybe the difference of Gangliosides is because of the plaque location (tau is within the cell, Abeta outside !?!). I have to admit I never heard about this Ganglioside therapy before. But I will keep my eyes open. It's like a trip back into my past. Pain and joy at the same time!
Keep up the good work
Regards
Chapper
Thank you so much!! I wander around in areas where I have little expertise... I feel like an adventurer. Always curiosity leads me. So nice to know I haven't stumbled too badly on the path.
You can see where your blog on mitochondrial illnesses related, though not directly in a straight line, to this area.
New account is so I can connect to Steemconnect without worrying about being hacked.
I wish you a happy Easter with your family. Grateful that you stopped by. Made my day :)
BTW...so much to write, I will revisit. Looking forward to a blog from you on the subject.
Happy Easter
