Yet another company focused on #tRNA therapies launched yesterday: hC Bioscience, with $24 million and Craig Mello on the SAB. It is a good time to revisit the deep dive I wrote on this emerging tRNA technology back in Sept. cen.acs.org/pharmaceuticals/…

7.5 years ago I started the very first #SCN2A support group. We have grown to almost 1,000 families from around the globe! Happy 6th birthday @FamilieSCN2A!
"On the eve of the Foundation's 6th birthday I reflect back on the day I started the Facebook support group. I knew was that there had to be other parents out there dealing with this diagnosis and I wanted to talk to them.” @LeahEDSCN2A #SCN2A

Happy birthday to #LaskerLaureate Bertil Hille! Hille was recognized for his work on #ionchannels, which govern the electrical potential of membranes, generating nerve impulses and controlling muscle contraction, cardiac rhythm, and hormone secretion. ow.ly/SPfX30lRPuy
