We are excited to share our paper in @molecularbrain where we found that treatment with sodium valproate increases activity of the sirtuin pathway in our #MJD #SCA3 #zebrafish, increasing their distances swum and inducing #Autophagy rdcu.be/cvXAq

This is a truly sad day for Australian Neuroscience .... the trashing of discovery science has to stop 🛑

It's disheartening to learn that the ANU is dissolving the Eccles Institute for Neuroscience and to cease all neuroscience courses/programs. A place I called home for the last 7 years, forming personal and professional relationships with leading experts in the field. #saveEccles

Thanks to @nhmrc funding we have developed zebrafish models to test treatments for fatal #neurodegenerative diseases A current lack of funding for fundamental research limits the treatments we can test, slowing progress #SaveOzScience @theasmr1 @greghuntMP #AdvanceAustraliaCare

How does the heat shock response proceed in a cell challenged w/ aggregating proteins associated w/ neurodegeneration? Excellent work @Rebecca_SanGlia, @jjyerbury, @NeuralOoi, @dezeraecox, @LukeMcAlary, @adamkeithwalker, Heath Ecroyd & Tracey Berg! Great explanation @jjyerbury!
Justin Yerbury AM (@jjyerbury) profile pictureJustin Yerbury AM@jjyerbury7 Jan 2020
When you heat up🔥 an egg all the proteins aggregate & precipitate out of solution & turn white🍳. Living cells can protect themselves from this type of stress by activating a heat shock response...
